There are a few ways 1. Using regular expressions acl NoAudioFiles req_mime_type -i ^audio/mpeg or acl NoAudioFiles rep_mime_type -i ^ audio/mpeg or acl NoAudioFiles url_regex ^\.mp3$ and http_access NoAudioFiles deny http_reply_access deny NoAudioFiles req_mime_type = Content-Type Header of the client's HTTP request. rep_mime_type=This is based on the response from the origin server.
