12.6.1.2. Locked requests
In Locked requests you can specify the file types and MIME types (content types for
the transferred data) to be blocked by WebGuard. The Web filter lets you block known
phishing and malware URLs. WebGuard prevents the transfer of data from the Internet
to your computer system.
File types / MIME types to be blocked by WebGuard (user-defined)
All file types and MIME types (content types for the transferred data) in the list are
blocked by WebGuard.
Input box
In this box, enter the names of the MIME types and file types you want WebGuard to
block. For file types, enter the file extension, e.g. .htm. For MIME types, indicate the
media type and, where applicable, sub-type. The two statements are separated from one
another by a single slash, e.g. . video/mpeg or audio/x-wav.
Note
Files which are already stored on your computer system as temporary Internet files and
blocked by WebGuard can however by downloaded locally from the Internet by your
computer's Internet browser. Temporary Internet files are files saved on your computer
by the Internet browser so that websites can be accessed more quickly
Note
The list of blocked file and MIME types is ignored if they are entered in the list of
excluded file and MIME types under WebGuard::Scan::Exceptions.
Note
No wildcards (* for any number of characters or ? for a single character) can be used
when entering file types and MIME types.
MIME types: Examples for media types:
– text = for text files
– image = for graphics files
– video = for video files
– audio = for sound files
– application = for files linked to a particular program
Examples: Excluded file and MIME types
– application/octet-stream = application/octet-stream MIME type files
(executable files *.bin, *.exe, *.com, *dll, *.class) are blocked by WebGuard.
– application/olescript = application/olescript MIME type files (ActiveX
script-files *.axs) are blocked by WebGuard.
– .exe = All files with the extension .exe (executable files) are blocked by
WebGuard.
– .msi = All files with the extension .msi (Windows Installer files) are blocked by
WebGuard.
