This will only work on streaming sites who don't care about data theft.
Most websites protect their media content by serving it out of scripts
instead of D/L'able files. That change the URI to anything they can imagine.

What you want to do is block based on reply mime-type using
rep_mime_type ACL and http_reply_access permissions.
