PWB Filter for .exe

Post by James »

Hello.

We are blocking URLs ending in .exe using the URL.txt string:

-\.exe$

However, we have a frequently used website that has several search scripts in which the URL ends in .exe. For example: http://sunbiz.org/scripts/cornamelis.exe is accessed from http://sunbiz.org/corpweb/inquiry/corinam.html

How do we allow these specific URLs while still blocking .exe files otherwise?

Thanks!

Add the allowed URL in before the denied URL.

+http://sunbiz.org
-\.exe$

Once PWB finds a URL that is allowed specifically, or denied specifically, it quits looking. So if you put the allowed before the denied, the allowed URL will cause PWB to allow the URL and quit parsing the filter file.
