Re: [squid-users] how to deny mime types say text and image

You can't as the functionality does not exists until Squid-2.5.

In Squid-2.4 you can only base access on what is part of the request, not
what makes the reply/answer.

The request has
* Client address
* URL requested
* Time of request
* Proxy login (if used)
* Request method
* MIME type of the request (POST form data, or PUT/upload file content)
* Type of browser used
* ...

The reply has
* MIME type of the downloaded object
* Size
* Server type
* ...

What this means is that in Squid-2.4 you can deny request that look like they
may result in a image, text or whatever, based on URL patterns (like file
extension). But you cannot base access controls on what is actually delivered
to the user.
