RE: [squid-users] Not Pass to Cache Peer if file size > a certain size

The only problem with this is The Peer is a virus scanner and it leaves a
huge hole if I don't scan exe's or zip's etc.

Anyway thanks for all those who replied I'll need to think of another way
around this.

It would be possible to do a HEAD request before the GET, but that's some
serious overhead, even if you could hack it into squid.

Your best bet is probably to send certain extensions (zip, exe, rar, ...)
to the peer. You will hit a few small ones, and miss a few big ones, but
overall it should work okay.
