Match protocol http url | mime

Hi all,

I have been playing with this command and would like an opinion on the
direction by which this command should be applied. As an example I set up
the following:

Host----------e0-R1-e1--------------------Internet

The Host is a windows pc with IE explorer and packet capturing using
Ethereal

I apply the following commands

policy-map QOS
Class HTTP
drop

class-map HTTP
match url */image/*

service-policy out QOS or service-policy out QOS

Now my question is regarding the servic-policy command. In order to drop
anything associated with a directory string that contains /image/ should I
apply the command outbound on e0 or inbound.

In notice that when I have it applied as outbound then I get a number of
hits within the class map, however the web page will refresh - albeit
slowly.

If I put the command on inbound then I also get a number of hits in the
class-map, however upon refreshing the web page, the page will hang halfway
through.

So which would be more appropriate outbound or inbound?? Would this be the
same for mime requests?

Thanks

Simon
