Sorry I slightly mis-read your request. What I gave is blocking images
*smaller* than 40 bytes (see what I mean about cut-n-paste without
understanding?).

To block images *over* 40 bytes change that to:
 http_reply_access deny !small images

Because HTTP does not transfer files. It transfers data. Sometimes data
can *also* be found inside "files", sometimes not.

HTTP Content-Type header describes what format the data is. In this case
you requested images in general, so thats the pattern I gave.
