That worked, thanks a lot, used your advice on a single rule instead of two as
well.
Thanks,

Here's what I have, anyone have an idea where I went wrong
I am Running Squid 3.0 Stable 9 on FreeBSD 6.2
Acl NOCACHEPDF url_regex -i ^http://hostname.\*pdf$
Acl NOCACHEXLS url_regex -i ^http://hostname.\*xls$
No_cache deny NOCACHEPDF NOCACHEXLS
I have used cat combined with awk and grep to check the pattern matching on
the access logs with:
Cat /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log | awk '{print $7}' | grep -e
^http://hostname.\*pdf$
Cat /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log | awk '{print $7}' | grep -e
^http://hostname.\*xls$
The \ character before the * is only necessary to prevent your shell
from expanding the wildcard because you didn't use quotes to escape
your regexp.
In your Squid conf file, you just need:
acl NOCACHEPDF url_regex -i ^http://hostname.*pdf$
acl NOCACHEXLS url_regex -i ^http://hostname.*xls$
But if I were you, I'd use:
acl NOCACHEXLS url_regex -i ^http://hostname/.*\.xls$
acl NOCACHEPDF url_regex -i ^http://hostname/.*\.pdf$
which is more precise and more correct IMHO.
Or shorter:
acl NOCACHE url_regex -i ^http://hostname/.*\.(pdf|xls)$
