Nope. mime.conf is only when Squid is acting as a HTTP server for ftp:// and/or gopher:// URL namespaces, not for proxying of http:// URLS (there the origin server provides the mime types). > 1044927430.544 88 x.x.x.x TCP_CLIENT_REFRESH_MISS/200 820 GET > http://www.aph.gov.au/asfroot/hms8.asx - > DEFAULT_PARENT/cyclops.comcare.gov.au video/x-ms-asf A 820 bytes reply seems awfully small for beeing a video. Are you sure these "asx" files are video files and not only video description files? Quick check: Defenitely video description files. <asx version = "3.0"> <Title>Parliamentary Committee</Title> <Author>Parliament of Australia</Author> <Copyright>Copyright Commonwealth of Australia 1999</Copyright> <entry> <ref href = "mms://dmzvideo1.aph.gov.au/Video1hms8"/> <ref href = "http://dmzvideo1.aph.gov.au/Video1hms8.asf"/> <ref href = "mms://dmzvideo2.aph.gov.au/Video2hms8"/> <ref href = "http://dmzvideo2.aph.gov.au/Video2hms8.asf"/> </entry> </asx> This means that after this request the media player will try to get the actual video, possibly using other protocols (mms:// looks suspicious above..) If I try to look into one of the http:// references above I get another description back: [Reference] Ref1=http://DMZVideo1:80/Video1hms8.asf Ref2=http://172.31.1.47:80/Video1hms8.asf The first indicates the video server is somewhat misconfigured (using a local hostname instead of a fully qualified name including domain). And the second address is not reachable as it is a private IP address... probably the internal IP address behind a NAT gateway or firewall.. Regards Henrik
