(Msg. 1) Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2003 1:42 pm Post subject: IIS6 filters URLs? Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)

Since upgrading from IIS5 to IIS6, any websites which contain a /bin directory no longer function, any file in the /bin directory cannot be retrieved, a 404 is returned. I guess this is IIS6 blocking requests to download files in a directory with that name in order to provide a level of protection for ASP.NET applications. However these are not ASP.NET web sites and so I would prefer them to work properly. Is there a workaround? Also, is there a workaround for the problem described in: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;275601 When execute permissions are granted on a directory? I would like to allow ..exe files in a site to be executed but still allow files contained in a directory of the form domainname.com to be downloaded. Many thanks in advance. >> Stay informed about: IIS6 filters URLs?

Hi All, This is not actually "IIS6 blocking requests to download files in a directory with that name." It's actually ASP.NET itself that's blocking the requests with its filter. I don't know enough about ASP.NET to know how configurable this feature is. It would be a good question to ask on an ASP.NET dedicated newsgroup. Thank you, -Wade A.

Now I remembered that such access /bin/ is prohibited with asp.net and it's actually at filter level. I remove the filter and restart entire IIS services, IIS will serve the folder right away.

Is there a way to configure which extensions IIS regards as those of executable files, i.e. make IIS regard .exe as an executable file but not ..com?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: IIS6 filters URLs?

Hi Daniel, IIS is hard coded to recognize .exe and .com as executable by the CGI handler (and .dll and .isa are recognized as executable by the ISAPI handler.) IIS will only execute files with these extensions if the virtual directory that contains them has execute permissions, otherwise it will download them to the client. If you have a virtual directory where you want to mix the above file extensions and only have some of them be executable, it may be possible to set the containing directory up so that it does not have execute permissions and then set execute permissions on only the files you want to run. The UI does not support this, so you would have to create a node in the metabase for the file and set the AccessPerm property directly, using something like adsutil. Thank you, -Wade A.
