HTTP Proxy

TXGARobert@Home
I am trying to block the downloading of MPG , WMA, ZIP and EXE files through my firewall instead of having to blacklist every site in the known universe.

I know that I could just put  EXE, or whatever, in the blacklist, but that catches way to many other sites.  I just want to deny access to specific types of files.  I have tried putting in, for example, \.mpg$ but they still get through.

Also, are these expressions case sensitive?  

Also, I am totally at a loss as to how to form a regexp expression.  I tried the link provided in the ASL help, but ended up even more confused.

Thanks for any help with this,

    expressions and extentions are case insensative acording to the docs and I think you need to look at the expression filters not the extention filters.  

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Extension filters are for the POP and SMTP porxies, not the HTTP proxy.  The HTTP proxy has black/white lists.  I just want to know the format for entering a regexp that would stop the downloading of a specific file type using  HTTP proxy blacklist.
    For example, to stop the downloading of ZIP files would I use:

    \.zip$ ,  /.zip$ , *.zip  or what?  

    Thank you,
