FACT(s) (Environment):
IIS
WebSpeed 3.x
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
SYMPTOM(s):
When accessing WebSpeed messenger on IIS browser presents "Save As" dialog instead of executing it on the server
Messenger executable being offered as a download instead of executed by the web server
Using cgiip.exe messenger on IIS web server
User presented with dialog to save the file instead of the WebSpeed generated response
Directory containing cgiip.exe messenger has "Scripts and Executables" bits set
Permissions are set correctly on all executables and directories
Web Service extension for the cgiip.exe is created and set to allowed
There are no error messages in the IIS log file
CAUSE:
IIS web server also contains installation of the Jrun Java Servlet Engine where the extension mapping for all unknown file types (*) has been set for the JRun bits.
FIX:
Modify the IIS file extension mapping in order to avoid .exe file being handled by the Jrun. This can be achieved by removing the wildcard character (*) for the Jrun handler and specifying only related file extensions, such as *.jsp, or any other designated file extension type.
