Visiting this page triggers a state based ACL (something like the captive portal login). </font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">The user then clicks a YouTube link and squid checks this ACL to see if the user is originating the request from my local page and if it is, allows the splice to </font><span style="font-family: Arial;">YouTube</span><font face="Arial" color="#000000"> and the video can play.</font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">The ACL would need to be tied to the client and the browser session some way.</font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Once the user leaves the page, the ACL goes away (or expires) and splicing to </font><span style="font-family: Arial;">YouTube</span><font face="Arial" color="#000000"> is blocked again.</font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">As I control the master page, I could have it send a heartbeat to the local server to keep the splice to YouTube ACL active to allow setting a shorter timeout to remove the ACL permission once the user moves on.</font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">thanks again to all, I will let you know if I crack this nut.</font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Darren Breeze</font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
