Walk extension question

Post by edev »

Hi,

I'm using commercial Webinator 5.1.24, and I've just noticed recently that although there is a list of file extension included in the walk profile, the dowalk script still picks up .ram, .rm files although these file extensions are not on the list. The extension list is

.html .htm .shtml .stm .cfm .asp .aspx .php .php3 .php4 .jsp

To exclude .rm and .ram files, do I have to put in an exclusion like *.rm?

Unless you have All Extensions then it should only grab the extensions you ask for, although the exclusion for .ram and .rm might be useful if they are in the query string, e.g. http://SERVER/getfile?test.rm as the query string is not considered when looking for the extension.

Perhaps you turned on "all extensions" under all walk settings.

I think the files are located within a query string and that's why they were being picked up. I put down an exclusion for *.rm so hopefully that would solve the problem. Thank you!
