The above is wrong. It is allowing by URL, regardless of the mime type.

That is the opposite of your stated requirement. It will *prevent* the
mime type check from identifying downloads in the special_url.

A better way to write the above policy would be:

  http_reply_access deny !special_url mimetype


Also, be aware that http_reply_access denial only prevents the download
reaching the client. It still has to be fully downloaded by Squid - lots
of bandwidth and processing cycles wasted.
 If you are blocking traffic by URL do that in http_access instead.

Do not put .* on the end of regex patterns. That only forces the regex
library to scan longer than necessary and waste memory.

Also this pattern:

 ^http://www.eztitles.com/download.php?

actually means:

 ^http://www.eztitles.com/download.ph

('?' is a regex special character. Like '*' it is deceptively harmful at
the start or end of a pattern)
