It doesn't appear that any file extensions are checked by the CGI servlet, and I cannot find any code that explicitly 'allows' or 'denies' certain file extensions.
As far as I can tell, the request for "/cgi-bin/whatever.exe" is not being handled by the CGIServlet at all. When CGIServlet is invoked, it tries to "find" the cgi file, and prints logs so you can tell this is happening. A request for an ".exe" file does not cause this log to get printed. So this tells me that the request is never getting sent to the CGIServlet, even though it matches the /cgi-bin/* pattern, which the CGIServlet is supposed to handle. --jason Turner, John wrote: >.exe may not be explicitly excluded as an extension, but are other file >extensions explicitly included?
