Re: [squid-users] Configure squid based on content type of http response

Dmitry,

Thank you for your help. But after I added this in my squid conf.
Squid stops working.
When I hit my browser via Squid to get content, nothing returns. No
even non 'text/plain' content. Can you please tell me what am i
missing?

Thank you.

# TAG: http_reply_access
# Allow replies to client requests. This is complementary to http_access.
#
# http_reply_access allow|deny [!] aclname ...
#
# NOTE: if there are no access lines present, the default is to allow
# all replies
#
# If none of the access lines cause a match the opposite of the
# last line will apply. Thus it is good practice to end the rules
# with an "allow all" or "deny all" entry.
#
#Default:

#http_reply_access allow all

acl plain_content rep_mime_type -i text/plain
# http_reply_access allow GET_method xml_content from_clients

redirect_program /usr/local/bin/myscript
redirector_access plain_content

http_reply_access allow all
