It's actually generating a 404 in the log. I tested with a simple

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. Hilmo,

Wade - FWIW, I'm not seeing this behavior on W2K/IIS5 with .NET 1.1
installed.

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.

Will try to ping aspnet group.. thanks.

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,
