How to make an exception for embedded streaming vid

Kingbuzzo
Hi Fellas:

I have content filtering enabled for HTTP with the "streaming video" category blocked.

When a legitimate user accesses this site, the video box just shows up as whitespace (no error or indication that it is blocked).

I looked in the logs and all I can see is the root page with no reference to the video host URL.  

How do I unblock this legitimate video without disabling my category?

Thanks!

    The embedded Video comes from "vimeo.com"... but i assume that you don´t want to whitelist that full domain...

    So to whitelist only that Video you would normaly use a Regular Expression for that Videolink, that contains for example "vimeo.com" and the "clip_id=9052770". But i totaly fail at RegEx... (you can start here: Regular-Expressions.info - Regex Tutorial, Examples and Reference - Regexp Patterns)

    So i tried it the quick and stupid way...

    I added the "clip_id=9052770" as a "Target Domain" under "Exceptions" with "Skip these checks - URL Filter" and "OR matching these URLs" ticked.

    and at least the embed worked... but the Video doesn´t play...

    The Video probably needs some supporting URL/Domain/Link to work. You have to dive into the HTTP Contentfilter Log to get clues how a Vimeo Link works.

    EDIT: I used the "View Page Source" Function from my Browser to find the "full" Link to the Video...

    Yesh, I don't want to whitelist the entire domain...

    I looked in my HTTP log and I couldn't find anything for Vimeo.  Is there anything in yours?  Can I send you mine - I'm at a loss...

    Thanks.
