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

    Just create an exception for the camera URL.  If this is a dynamic IP, configure one of the free dynamic DNS settings for it (if so equipped) and create an exception for the dynamic hostname.
