yes it was, check the archive kenn its there, but here is what i use

acl denydlwds urlpath_regex -i \.mp3($|;|?) \.exe($|;|?) \.pps($|;|?)
\.zip($|;|?) etcetera

http_access deny denydlwds

ummm, one hint dont try \.com($|;|?) thinking u'll block com executables
files, u'll see urself blocking websites too ;)

The -i makes the matching case insensitive, and the $ makes it
match at the end of the line.
