Blocking download of .exe's disables some web forms

I added the following line to my URL.txt file in order to prevent patrons from downloading executables:

-.exe

It works fine, but this rule also seems to be blocking exe's in web forms. For example, when a patron enters data into this web form and clicks SUBMIT, access is denied by the URL.txt file.

Code: Select all

<FORM ACTION="./cgi-bin/search.exe" METHOD="post">

Has this happened to anyone else?

I would just use the DisableFileDownload=True setting, rather than use the URL file for that.
