block downloads from specific sites

Astaro ASG 7.505.

How can we block downloads from specific sites?

Like block the download of Adobe Reader (.exe) from adobe.com, but allow access to adobe.com web site.

Or block the download of Google Chrome (.exe) from google.com. Looks like Google now has a "Spyware Doctor with Anti-Virus" which we need to block also.

Still need to access the above sites, but want to block just the .exe or .msi, etc.

    It might be easiest to block all .exe or .msi with the file extension filter in the http proxy and then create exceptions for sites you want to allow people to download these extensions.
    The alternative would be to blacklist the specific url of the download of every site.

    Maybe someone else has a more elegant solution to your problem...

    The blacklist/whitelist are actually regulary expressions, so you should be able to use something like this: ^https?://*.google.com/*.exe

    ulmi, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Your expression did not work, but after doing some research this one does: /.*\.exe$.

    so this will block all .exe download from google: google.com/.*\.exe$ and from adobe.com/.*\.exe$.
