 is there anyway in which we can block a certain file
from being downloaded ? i mean i need to block mp3
downloads, is there anyway the linux box can
understand the file type while downloading it ... 

please put some light on it even if u have the
slightest idea, it might lead me to some result

thanks a lot

I don't think this is a task for netfilter, you might
want to look at http://dansguardian.org/?page=introduction

May be you can use iptables string match patch, or use Squid + iptables.

What if I want to prioritize/shape traffic based on file type? Is there some
way to mark subsequent packets in the same TCP connection?

Hi,

You can use Squid Cache + [content filtering ] + Apache mod_proxy + 
RewriteMap in mod_rewrite + your own script to process requests passed to it 
from RewriteMap + Netfilter + IPRoute2 Traffic Control (TC tool).

Or just [content filtering] + Apache mod_cache + mod_proxy + mod_rewrite + 
Netfilter + TC Tool.

You can also use Snort + [ snortSnaf, etc. ] + Netfilter + TC tool.

Or you can use hogwash + TC tool.

I don't know if you can do it just with Squid + IPTables as he mentioned, 
but I'm sure you eventually gonna want to use a traffic shaper (TC tool) 
somewhere.

Just to tell ya that if you are doing it to slow down those downloads, might 
as well post up a user policy that they are responsible for their own 
bandwidth usage and just do IPRoute2 traffic shaper and a suitable Qdisc to 
fair share available bandwidth among people on your network.  A lot less 
hassle and less bugs / security problems.

Good luck.
