What you observe is completely expected and by-design. It suggests that the
application you are trying to run doesn't work as a CGI like that -- you
must explain exactly what you are trying to do so that people can actually
help.

When you make a request like: http://myserver/cgi-bin/application.exe ,
the expectation is that application.exe is going to run on the server and
generate a valid HTTP response on the std output. If that doesn't happen,
the request eventually timesout. This is completely by design because
that's how CGI-BIN works.

Dear all
I installed a IIS server on my windows XP professional machine and I
would like to start an
application (.exe file) remotely, sending a command like
    http://myserver/cgi-bin/application.exe
I added the virtual directory related to the "application.exe" in the
Web Server folder using
the IIS administration snap-in. Of course when I try to lannch the
application, it run but, after a few minutes the server kill the
application. I think this
happen because the external user releases the TCP/IP connection and the
server "delete" all
resources related to that user.
How can I solve this problem ?
How is possibe to send a remote command to close the application ?
Thank you
Best Regards,
Paolo
