Hi all,
is there any comrehensive list of squid regex patterns available to
block all famous / known video contents based on request/reply mime
types?
Yes. The pattern video/ is very inclusive of all video file types.
Can we use video/* to match any type? similarly with audio/* ?
To predict yor next question the pattern audio/ catches the audio
and music types.
Neither of these catch the fake MiME types sent be some bad websites.
But they need deeper config tricks based on how the site alters the
traffic.
Further, does http_reply_access allow use of 'time' acl used in
conjunction with itself?
Yes. http_reply_access can use any of the same types and http_access
as well as the extra reply types.
The one hitch with http_reply_access is that the request has already
been sent and the object is already being received back by the time it
is checked. So a whole lot of bandwidth might get wasted on a
reply-based denial.
can we block video / streaming contents on http_req_access operator?
