In this box you can input the name of the MIME types and file types to be ignored by
WebGuard during scanning. For file types, enter the file extension, e.g. .htm. For MIME
types, indicate the media type and, where applicable, sub-type. The two statements are
separated from one another by a single slash, e.g. video/mpeg or audio/x-wav.
Note
No wildcards (* for any number of characters or ? for a single character) can be used
when entering file types and MIME types.
Warning

browser without further scanning of the blocked access (List of file and MIME types to
be blocked in WebGuard::Scan::Blocked access) or by WebGuard: For all entries on the
exclusion list, the entries on the list of file and MIME types to be blocked are ignored. No
scan for viruses and malware is carried out.
