Why the Internet radio stations or other similar streaming media services do not work with the File Type Recognition feature enabled?

This applies to F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper version 6.60 and above. When File Type Recognition is enabled, streaming content cannot be provided to the users as File Type Recognition requires the whole file to be processed before it is allowed through. With streaming content the “whole file” cannot be downloaded, as the download will be a continuous process. If it is necessary for the users to receive streaming content, but at the same time File Type Recognition must be used, one possibility is to define the sites from where the streaming content is downloaded as trusted sites. Note, however, that this might entail a security risk.
