Web Proxy and URL Blocked as executable file

Had a similar issue some weeks ago. This seems to be fixed now - cannot reproduced. When the issue occoured, we were on 18 MR1, now on MR4. Maybe it has been fixed outside the patterns.

Mathias Reitinger, is this link recognized as executable from your XG? https://www.google.com/=https://google.com?type-what-you-want-it-is-blocked-as-exe

This is when URL redirecting is in the URL.

 you were about to test this in your lab. any success?

Hi LHerzog,

The links you provided worked with v18 MR3 when I tested in my LAB. 

However, the link provided by Mathias Reitinger, does not work even without web filtering. 

Mathias Reitinger Can you confirm if you can access the URL without web filtering?

Thanks,

I can open Mathias Reitingers Link (it results in an error sent by the remote webserver, but it generally works) and my links that previously did not work because of false executable detection but I don't know why - cannot remember to have changed anything related to our web policies.
