hard. In forms based file uploading the file extension is not known to
Squid.

req_header is the acl type in Squid looking into HTTP request headers.

Content-Length is the HTTP request header indicating the size of the HTTP
message sent to the server.

[[:space:]]*[[:digit:]]{6,}

simply matches any optional whitespace (spaces, tabs etc) followed by 6 or
more digits.
