hi ervin,
I'm trying to implement a 3rd party cgi application, and all the app files are .exe's. I need to allow this single site to run .exe's as the compiled files post to .exe only and there's no way for me to change that. Ex: Step1.exe -> step2.exe -> step3.exe .... If I point my browser to the .exe, it asks me to download the file. I know I could adjust the mime.types file to allow for .exe to run, but I don't want to allow everyone on the entire server to run .exe except for this particular site.
you know that you're on a linux platform that doesn't run exe binaries..? the only exception i know are the frontpage programs (fpsrvadm.exe, ...) that have an .exe suffix, but they are ordinary elf binaries.
setting a mime type wouldn't be the solution, i think. you need to set an "AddHandler cgi-wrapper .exe" directive within your httpd.conf.
