Not a problem for these, as url_regex will not match GET form
submissions as these do not end in \.exe$ even if the CGI program
called is a exe.. this because on form submissions the program is
followed by the argumets.

There is however a few web sites calling exe cgi programs without any
arguments and these will give problems if you block \.exe$. These are
very rare however.
