This you can't, as the content type is not known until the reply is seen.

What you can do is to select parent proxy based on an estimate of what the
content type will be based on the extension of the URL (i.e.
http://www.example.com/some/song.mp3 is quite likely a mp3 file). For this
purpose see the urlpath_regex acl and the cache_peer_access directive.
