according to squid.conf.default:
# acl aclname req_mime_type mime-type1 ...
# # regex match agains the mime type of the request generated
# # by the client. Can be used to detect file upload or some
# # types HTTP tunelling requests.
# # NOTE: This does NOT match the reply. You cannot use this
# # to match the returned file type.
#
# acl aclname rep_mime_type mime-type1 ...
# # regex match against the mime type of the reply recieved by
# # squid. Can be used to detect file download or some
# # types HTTP tunelling requests.
# # NOTE: This has no effect in http_access rules. It only has
# # effect in rules that affect the reply data stream such as
# # http_reply_access.
