$ pluck add "Deny application/pdf" works great blocking pdf downloads, but $ pluck add "Deny application/ppt" does not block download of power point files. Same issue when replacing with "doc".

$ pluck add "Deny application/pdf" works great blocking pdf downloads, but $ pluck add "Deny application/ppt" does not block download of power point files. Same issue when replacing with "doc".
Try this:
pluck add "deny application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"
pluck add "deny application/msword"Offline
Awesome! That worked with the exception of pptx files. What will block those? Thanks!

pluck add "block application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"FYI:
pluck mety foo.docx
foo.docx -> application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.documentOffline
Thanks for sending this. I entered the command and confirmed it was successfully added, however I'm not sure it is working. Here is an example site that I was able to download from:
Hot Jobs_Sever_Feinstein.pptx

Oops; the former blocked docx, not pptx. Try:
pluck add "block application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation"I will soon update the above for posterity.

One follow up question -- how do I block .ppsx files? The above methods block .pps files, but not .ppsx files. Thanks.

First, use pluck mety to discover the media type for ppsx files:
pluck mety foo.docx
foo.ppsx -> application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshowThen, add a rule for that media type:
pluck add "block application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow"Offline
Did as suggested:
C:\Program Files\Pluckeye\bin>pluck mety foo.ppsx
foo.ppsx -> application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow
C:\Program Files\Pluckeye\bin>pluck add "block application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow"
C:\Program Files\Pluckeye\bin>
Still unsuccessful in blocking .ppsx files. Here is an example of a file that will download:

Pluckeye > history tells me that the media type for the above url is application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation . So:
pluck add "block application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation"I added a recipe for blocking similar documents http://www.pluckeye.net/recipes/windows … uments.txt .

Thank you for the recipe. I followed instructions and this was the response:
C:\Program Files\Pluckeye\bin>pluck.exe import "%HOMEPATH%\Desktop\no-documents.txt"
c:\cygwin64\home\jon\pluckeye\exes\common/pluckui.c:1496 Can not parse 'application/msword'

Just curious if anyone has encountered the error above and how to correct. I'm still unable to block .ppsx file download. Thanks!

Oops! The recipe file was incorrect.

Thank you. I was able to successfully add the recipe. However, it does not appear to be blocking the ppsx files. I am still able to download the presentation linked in post #9 above as an example. Any ideas?

Indeed! Thanks for reporting this -- it is a bug in Pluckeye's handling of ppsx (and a handful of similar types). I'll post again here when a release candidate contains a fix for this (probably about a week away).

You can find it on the "asap" tester's page.
Feel free to submit a test report and let Jon know how it worked.

Fantastic! Works like a charm!
