Hi,

Have enabled Download Block rule to block downloads on content basis-compressed/audio/video etc.Rule has been enabled above all allow access.The same has been successful.But have found some issues.Able to block exe,zip etc from the website but not able to when it redirects to another .

Example:

Able to block-www.oracle.com/downloads/123.exe

But not able to when the download is redirected from www.oracle.com to another website as http://download.oracle.com/123.exe.

This is common for many website.

Any suggestion?

Hi,

You can use the HTTP filter to block by extensions as well , check this article : Blocking Desired Extensions & Content Types

Hi,

Unfortunately, ISA Server does not filter HTTPS :(

you will need a third party plugin : http://www.collectivesoftware.com/Products/ClearTunnel

However, the good news is that the future build of ISA Server, which is now called TMG and is currently available in Beta 2 for download, does filter the HTTPS tunnel :)
