Netflix Streaming Blocked by Sophos UTM

*** This solution no longer works with updates that Sophos has applied or changes that Netflix has made!

I was helping a friend with a Sophos UTM and found that netflix would not stream on their mobile devices.  We went into the settings and through studying the weblog and how netflix URL's are put togehter and created the following regex to add an exception so the AV would not scan the URL:

^http://.*.netflix.com/.*
^http.*?o=.*v=[0-9]&e=[0-9]{10}&t=.*$

Below is a screenshot of the exception that was created:


Now as long as the bot masters do not create a bot that uses that regex to exfil data it will work great!!  Oh by-the-way the Sophos UTM is free for home use.  It is a nice Unified Threat Management (UTM) for home use and is a lot better than a router you can buy out of the store.
