Yes. The pattern video/ is very inclusive of all video file types.

To predict yor next question the pattern audio/ catches the audio and
music types.

Neither of these catch the fake MiME types sent be some bad websites.
But they need deeper config tricks based on how the site alters the traffic.

Yes. http_reply_access can use any of the same types and http_access as
well as the extra reply types.

The one hitch with http_reply_access is that the request has already
been sent and the object is already being received back by the time it
is checked. So a whole lot of bandwidth might get wasted on a
reply-based denial.
