How to limit File Upload using Squid Proxy

Hi,

I have a LAN with Squid Proxy as the Proxy Server. My requirement is I want to block all the users with the file upload limit (say in webmails, they should not attach the files more than the allowed limit) and allow only specific users to have unlimited file upload.

Can any body give me a solution for this...

I am using Squid 2.6 STABLE 6 with Fedora Core 6

Thanks & Regards

Hi Dineesh,

I know about the above said. but when you answer, you can be bit more elaborate just giving clues alone will not solve the purpose.

Moreover the above said directives are global directives and using it in ACL would be a tough task....or I am not sure how this global directives can be used in ACL's

agriesser gave me almost a right solution... I am in the phase of testing the same. Let me know post the results asap.

You can't use request_body_max_size in ACLs and that's exactly the problem.
What I know from the squid ML is that there were several discussions in it making this feature available for ACLs, but noone by now implemented it, so it's not part of the current stable release and AFAIK, it's also not in trunk.
