Hello,

Wondering if anyone else is able to download IE 7.0 (non beta) from:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx

Clicking the download link which apparently is:
http://switch.atdmt.com/action/IE_7_Windows_XP_SP2_B

*Despite* having:
"Block responses containing Windows executable content" applied in the
HTTP Filter rule?

Our users although not 'administrative' users are able to download
this executable but not other .exe/executable files.  Is my ISA config
off, or IE 7.0 just special =).

We did not block by extension .exe, as IIRC, the "Block responses
containing Windows..." should suffice?  As each .exe has the 'header'
PE?

The logs show that IE7.0 is downloading via the very rule with the
'Block responses containing...' checked.

Thanks again,
Edgardo
