You can't as it is impossible to know the filetype before seeing the
response, and to see the response you must first decide on where to
send the request..

You can however guess what the filetype will be based on the format of
the URL using the urlpath_regex acl type and
always_direct/cache_peer_access to control forwarding. I.e. send all
URLs ending in /, .html, .htm, .asp, .php etc directly. Some
statistics on text/html responses in your access.log should give a
good list of candidates to add to this rule.
