same old policy question? :)

[n0ticer]

hi,

i have this policy on advanced tab of WWW Service:

"Not Http URL... ends with .cab"

so this blocks any website that ends with ".cab"

now adding another filter to allow website to install too many cab files, how do i allow such URL that has hundreds of .cab without specifying each or every file name? can i use wildcards i.e. (http URL ends with *.cab) for that single site?

ex:
...http://123.456.789/patches/ttht001.cab
...http://123.456.789/patches/sdf002.cab
...http://123.456.789/patches/ljui003.cab
...http://123.456.789/patches/pioo004.cab
...http://123.456.789/patches/gsdf005.cab...
...http://123.456.789/patches/tryr050.cab...
...http://123.456.789/patches/xcvc100.cab

tnx in advance

My interpretation of your desired result:
No users can download .cab files unless it is a certain website.


WWW Proxy Server --> Policies
Default Rights are ignored.

Policy 1 (First use of Everyone group)
Everyone Group.
Ban Tab = This criterion is met if HTTP URL Ends with .cab


Policy 2. (Second use of Everyone group)
Everyone Group.
Advanced tab:
Filter 1.
This criterion is met if HTTP URL Contains TheWebSiteWith.Cabs.com
Filter 2
This criterion is met if HTTP URL Contains AnotherWebSiteWith.Cabs.com

*The policy that allows the most access will over ride the policy with the least access
**This solution can also be used when no one is allowed to download certain files, unless it is from a webmail system.
