Webfilter blocks webcams

Roland M.
Hi,
setting up my new firewall I realized that several webcams on various sites doesn't work. Common to all these webcams (varoius vendors) is the MIME content type "multipart/x-mixed-replace". 

For example the AXIS-webcam on Berlevaagnytt.Com | Laget av Berlevåginger, for Berlevåginger shows this line in the live log: 

2012:09:23-17:40:47 echo httpproxy[20918]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="http access" action="pass" method="GET" srcip="10.0.0.123" dstip="62.63.28.98" user="" statuscode="200" cached="0" profile="REF_DefaultHTTPProfile (Default Proxy)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="0" request="0x905c838" url="62.63.28.98/.../video.cgi


Reputation filter is switched off.
Disabling the whole webfilter brings the webcams back to life.

I found how to block additional MIME type, but not how to allow one...


Any ideas how to solve the problem?


tnx


Roland

    Ok, it's not the content type but the antivirus scan...

    But I don't like the idea to add an exeption to skip the antivirus scan for each and any webcam manually...

    I can confirm this problem with my setup (Proxy in Standard mode).

    Perhaps someone from Astaro/Sophos will say some words in the next days.

    Sometimes you have to pay the prize for extra security (and add the exceptions)... [:D]

    I hope so.
    Running my own remote webcam on a Dyndns account sadly reduces the useability of the web filtering to nil. [:(]
