[squid-users] Regex

2005-05-31 Thread johnsuth
The mime.conf file employs a dollar at the end of regex for file extensions. e.g. \.exe$ I omitted the dollar in my own blacklist of filetypes, and the ACL seems to deny the download of filetypes that I don't want. How does the dollar make a difference?

Interleaving the acls and http_access lines should work just fine. I'd change the dstdom_regex to dstdomain, because as it stands now, anything with .gov anywhere in the domain (where the dot can represent any character i.e. thegovenator.com), will be allowed through. Same thing for the
