Re: Re: [squid-users] how to block "octet-stream"

Yes, you are right. I do just want to block application/octet-stream other than all the filetypes *MAY* cause it. Because, for example, .exe may cause application/octet-stream or may not, I just want to block the files who cause application/octet-stream and let the other .exe files pass. Can I do it? Our Squid is 2.4.STABLE-1

thanks!

Sincerely,

Carl

It's not a good way to block it by file extention (like .swf) for the reason that there are so many file types can cause 'octet-stream' such as .exe, .cab, .dll, .dat, .cif. .vbs, .class and so on. Furthermore, it is not feasible to block all the files have the extentions above.
