I have RHEL 4 installed on my machine which i wanted to use as a proxy. My proxy(squid-2.6 STABLES-3.el5) is running properly to some extend. I was trying to use 'urlpath_regex' to block '.jpg, .mp3...etc' but this does not deny at all. what might be the reason? the acl looks like this...

:
:
acl download-block urlpath_regex -i \.jpg$ \.mp3$

http_access deny download-block

thanks
MR

Can you mention your http_access area ?
The syntax seems to be ok.
The problem could be http_access area.

Here's my acls and http_access area.

acl our_networks src 10.180.0.0/255.255.255.0
acl blocked_list url_regex -i "/etc/squid/banned.list"
deny_info ERR_BANNED_list1 blocked_list

acl download-block urlpath_regex -i \.jpg$ \.mp3$

acl blocked_domains dstdom_regex -i "/etc/squid/bad_domains.list"
deny_info ERR_BANNED_baddomains blocked_domains
#acl accesstime time 9:00-17:00
acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED

http_access deny blocked_list
http_access allow ncsa_users
http_access deny download-block
http_access deny blocked_domains

#http_access allow our_networks accesstime
http_access allow our_networks
http_access deny all

Thanks..

My squid configuration is similar and it is working fine.
You should wait for some expert to come up. I do not find anything wrong.

Can you use url_regex instead of using urlpath_regex and see if it works?

Why would you want to post the same question again without even considering the previous post?

acl group2 src 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.6 192.168.0.7/24
acl group3 src 192.168.0.8 192.168.0.9 192.168.0.10/24

and

acl blocksites1 url_regex -i "/etc/squid/block1.txt"
acl blocksites2 url_regex -i "/etc/squid/block2.txt"
