[ASG V8.301] youtube-blocking

silentdaemon
hey guys,

since this weekend without changing the config all of ours astaros blocking generally youtube-videos.. the site is running okay but videos are black.

a look in the live-log gives me the reason:

2012:04:16-11:04:26 xyzhost httpproxy[16865]: id="0060" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked, forbidden category detected" action="block" method="GET" srcip="" dstip="" user="" statuscode="403" cached="0" profile="REF_DefaultHTTPProfile (Default Proxy)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="6692" request="0xb4155e0" url="s.ytimg.com/.../watch_as3-.swf" exceptions="fileextension" error="" reason="category" category="204" reputation="neutral" categoryname="Malicious Downloads"

is all swf from this server generally malicious?

whitelisting "s.ytimg.com" would be a workaround but is not the solution, isn't it?

Do YouTube a generally server-/tech-change, or why this is a probem since this weekend? 

thanks for your attention.

    That says that the Kids are not permitted to access a site categorized as a "Content Server."


    Thanks for your reply Bob, this I understand, but it still doesn't make sense.
    The category "Content Server" is only checked within "Information and Communication" and I'm not blocking that for the kids.
    The only categories I block for the kids are;
    Anonymizing websites (this category I created myself)
    Anonymizers
    Anonymizing Utilities

    Criminal Activities
    Hate/Discrimination
    Criminal Activities
    Hacking/Computer Crime
    Illegal Software
    Historical Revisionism
    School Cheating Information
    Illegal UK
    Browser Exploits
    Malicious Downloads
    Potential Unwanted Programs

    Drugs
    Tobacco
    Drugs
    Alcohol

    Extremistic Sites
    Violence
    Gruesome Content
    Extreme
    Game/Cartoon Violence

    Nudity
    ****ography
    Provocative Attire
    Incidental Nudity
    Nudity
    ***ual Materials
    Profanity

    Weapons
    Weapons

    That's all I block for the kids.
    And even stranger... For the parents I block nothing, no category blocking at all, only virus scanning the downloads. 
    But when I use the "Parents" filter action for the kids, I still have this issue...

    Any idea's, because I'm running out of any...
    Thanks very much!
    With kind regards,
    Erwin.
