Allow streaming media of news category.

L1 Bithead

Hi  everyone,

 

One of our customer Has a requirement to block all streaming media but wants to allow streaming from news category,

eg suppose any news channel is redirecting to youtube or any streaming sites it should be allowed but if user is trying to reach directly to youtube or any other streaming it should be blocked.

 

streaming sites redirecting via news channels only  must be allowed

is it possible ?

@KashifSh,

That's not how modern websites work. In the vast majority of instances the actual media is just going to be hosted by the media service (like YouTube) and not the website directly. 


If you take a look at something like Fiddler and get comfortable building custom signatures, you could potentially build out custom application signatures and capture only this traffic utilizing the Referer header if the website in question actually sets it.
