How can I match specific portion of a URL in Squid

Question

I want to create an acl in Squid such that specific locations within a domain can be blocked.

For example:

I want to allow the domain example.com and all the pages except the following.

example.com/home.php
example.com/#!/
example.com/home.php#!/profile.php

I want to have an exact match of the pattern in the URL. If the pattern is not matched it should allow otherwise deny.

Can anyone please suggest me how do I do this ?

Warm Regards

Answer 1

The way I have it configured is like this: I have a file with the blocked url patters and in the squid.conf I have the following lines

acl blocked url_regex "/path/to/my/file"
http_access deny blocked

And that's all. "/path/to/my/file" looks like this

porn # for every url having the string porn on it
orkut.com $ for the full domain
.*avg.com/.*\.bin$ # for the url with  avg.com domain and asking for the file *.bin

Hope it works for you
