AntiVirus doesn't always scan downloads.

jburke
Astaro running on some server hardware.

Firmware version: 7.501
Pattern version: 11197

I've have been downloading a bunch of .exe's today, and I have noticed that the Astaro on my home network sometimes scans the download and then I save the file from the Astaro webpage that comes up, or it just downloads directly to my machine.

Anyone else experiencing this?

    I just verified it. I downloaded Winpcap from.

    WinPcap, the Packet Capture and Network Monitoring Library for Windows 

    2009:12:03-00:38:51 gottaget httpproxy[4011]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="http access" action="pass" method="GET" srcip="192.168.2.100" user="" statuscode="200" cached="0" profile="REF_DefaultHTTPProfile (Default Proxy)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="924880" time="5201 ms" request="0xae10eaf8" url="www.winpcap.org/.../x-msdos-program"


    Is the Content Filter (HTTP/S) where I see if the file gets scanned?

    I also download nmap and that file was scanned. One I started the transfer the Astaro took over and download it for me. I then clicked on the "disk icon" once it had scanned the file.

    When I download Winpcap, it went straight to my machine. The scanning archive message never came up. I never clicked the "disk icon" on the Astaro download page.

    Hi,
    I just downloaded that package, 903KB in size, hardly caused the ASG to blink. The normal ASG download screen did not start. The scanning process was extremely fast, my line speed last time tested was 4 to 5mb/900k. Possibly even slower now, the ISP has been playing with my settings.

    You can block exe files from being downloaded in the http proxy.

    Depending on how small / how fast the file downloads, the astaro may or may not display the download page... it scans nonetheless.  Small files or files from sites that have higher bandwidth allocations download and scan so fast there is no need to display the special downloading page... for larger files, or files from slower sites, the page does display--this is to keep end users from continually reattempting downloads, complaining, etc. and lets them know that their file is being downloaded.
