Nope. mime.conf is only when Squid is acting as a HTTP server for ftp://
and/or gopher:// URL namespaces, not for proxying of http:// URLS (there
the origin server provides the mime types).

A 820 bytes reply seems awfully small for beeing a video.
Are you sure these "asx" files are video files and not only video
description files?
Quick check: Defenitely video description files.
<asx version = "3.0">

This means that after this request the media player will try to get the
actual video, possibly using other protocols (mms:// looks suspicious
above..)
If I try to look into one of the http:// references above I get another
description back:
[Reference]

Ref2=http://172.31.1.47:80/Video1hms8.asf
The first indicates the video server is somewhat misconfigured (using a
local hostname instead of a fully qualified name including domain).
And the second address is not reachable as it is a private IP address...
probably the internal IP address behind a NAT gateway or firewall..
