How to block downloading exe,com or other exec.?

Hello,

we're running Astaro 4.015. The HTTP-Proxy works in User Authentication mode. Is it possible to configure the underlying squid in such a way, that i can block/deny downloading of executable files, e.g. *.exe, *.com, etc. from sites allowed to the proxy user? I assume, if it's possible, I have to hack the squid.conf manually, riight?

Greetings

Dirk

Hi Didel,
you can block .exe, .com ... files, using the blacklist of the SUrfprotection. Have a look at this
thread, there is explained how to set up the Surfprotection. You can also block a certain size of downloads, adding the reply_body_max_size (KB) in your squid configuration.
Cheers

Good to do; but we also need a way to block content-type encodings too (e.g., application...msword...).
