Blocked Extensions Not Always Blocked

scottj_01
All-

I have encountered some odd behavior with the web proxy and blocked extensions. Exe extensions are blocked. As an example if I try to download a windows service pack (Windows XP SP3) the file has an exe extension which is blocked by the web proxy. The proxy returns a screen stating so. However I can freely absent of restriction download firefox which is an exe. My ASG is version 9.105-9 running on a core 2 duo with 8gb of ram. There are no entries in the log indicating a file download was blocked, or allowed.  Somewhat confused why this might be going on....

Thanks,
Jim

    Check your exceptions... I may be wrong but I bet you'll find an exception in there that is allowing this.
