Hi Jim,
I am a little confused, not the first time there!

If I do the first bit and select "block specified" and enter the detail,
then select "allow specified" and remove the entries I end up with
nothing entered when I go back to "block specified".

Surely I only want to carry out the "block specified" part?

Thanks

Andy

Updated:

HTTP filter settings (you all know how to get there).

1. Extensions: 
<choice>
   Set "block specified"
   Add .emf
   Description="application/x-msmetafile"
   Add .wmf
   Description="application/x-msmetafile"
</choice>
<choice>
   Set "allow specified"
   Remove .emf
   Remove .wmf
</choice>
<notachoice>
   Set "allow all"
</notachoice>

2. Signatures:
   Name=WMF-1
   Description="request file type trigger"
   Type="Request URL"
   Signature=".emf"

   Name=WMF-2
   Description="request file type trigger"
   Type="Request URL"
   Signature=".wmf"

   Name=WMF-3
   Description="response headers trigger"
   Type="Response Headers"
   HTTP Header="content-type"
   Signature="msmetafile"

   Name=WMF-4
   Description="response body file type trigger"
   Type="Response Body"
   Signature=".emf"

   Name=WMF-5
   Description="response body file type trigger"
   Type="Response Body"
   Signature=".wmf"

   Name=WMF-6
   Description="response body file header trigger"
   Type="Response Body"
   Signature="184Gmg"

WMF-6 is the kewl one because all binary files are base-64 encoded when
transferred over HTTP and FTP.
WMF files usually incorporate a predefined header value that resolves to
the Base-64 signature in this definition.
It's probably the same technique as the GFI filter, except not as smart.

Hey Jim,

Forget about the automation, just let us know what to do :)
