Once i tried that and had LOTS of false-positives with Windows CGI based applications, just like:

http://www.something.com/myscript.exe?value=blabla  ....

myscript.exe is not a downloadable file, it's a script that will be executed and return HTML code to the browser.

And there's all those URLs that will reply with a executable download but has no .exe on the URL ...

   It's a simple idea, but not as easy to implement as it seems.

Why not block all executables except from a list of whitelisted sites?

Allow windowsupdates.com, Microsoft.com, adobe.com,...

That negates the need for signature based detection.
