Ipod touch/phone Streaming video request+http proxy/anivirus = no video

spoon2021
Just got a iTouch, and found that if http proxy with antivirus is enabled(and running), the iTouch would not be able to stream video from youtube or anywhere else.

to fix this issue I had to build this http proxy/antivirus exception:

Name: Ipod Touch Video URL exceptions
Skip these checks:
Authentication
Anti-Virus
X Antivirus
Extension blocking
MIME type blocking
Content Filter
URL Filter
Content Removal

OR matching these URLs:
Target Domains
  ytimg.com
  youtube.com
  google.com
  apple.com

This works, but everytime I want to watch a streaming video from another domain/URL I have to log into Astaro, check the log, add another domain to the exception, then test it.

I am running 7.305,and have Bypass content scanning for streaming content checked in http proxy advanced setup.

lease let me know if there is anyone who figured out an easier fix.

Thanks,
Spoon


Here is a http/proxy log entry when a stream fails:

2009:01:25-10:08:01 (none) httpproxy[17246]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="http access" action="pass" method="GET" srcip="10.0.0.10" user="" statuscode="302" cached="0" profile="profile_0" filteraction="action_REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction" size="0" time="165 ms" request="0x8275bf8" url="vp.video.google.com/videodownload

And here when it works through exception list:

    Ahhh, that would be because I had no idea such a thing existed.  Thank you for pointing it out, I will look into it.

    Hi all,

    Above solution did not work for me, but what worked was to exclude all You Tube traffic from proxy as follows:
    Go to Web Security -> Advanced -> Transparent mode skiplist
    Add Network Definition as DNS Host and in the hostname add gdata.youtube.com as this is the server being hit by a You Tube streaming request.
    Be mindful that should this server ever change (very unlikely) this rule will no longer apply.
    Having said that what you can do is look at the live proxy log and identify easily the change.
    Have fun and enjoy!
