To Filter by MIME Type

1. Access the Server Manager, and click the Filters tab.

2. Click the Set MIME Filters link.

   The Set MIME Filters page is displayed.

3. Choose the template you want to use for filtering MIME types, or make sure you are editing the entire server.

4. In the Current filter text box, you can type a regular expression that matches the MIME types you want to block.

   For example, to filter out all applications, you could type application/.* for the regular expression. This method is faster than checking each MIME type for every application type. The regular expression is not case-sensitive. For more information on regular expressions, see “Understanding Regular Expressions” in Chapter 16, Managing Templates and Resources.

5. Check the MIME types you want to filter.

   When a client attempts to access a file that is blocked, the proxy server returns a “403 Forbidden” message.

6. Click OK.

7. Click Restart Required.

   The Apply Changes page is displayed.

8. Click the Restart Proxy Server button to apply the changes.
