IIS redirection

I have a CGI exe on IIS server, users can use this CGI by using this
address: http://...../CGIData.exe

Now my question is how can I make the CGIdata.exe is not visible to the
users, I mean users can use the following address:
hrrp://..../CGIData.html
Note html not exe. If I used redirection in IIS, the users will be able
to use the html page instead of .exe, but after that the browser will
show them the .exe address. How can I do this without redirection.

Thank you for your help.

if you are just worried about the .exe URL not getting displayed in the
address bar then hide it inside a Frame or redirect to a new browser without
the address bar visible and you can also disable the "right click" in the
page so that no one can look at the source.

Let me verify what you are trying to do:
1. You want a request to http://..../CGIData.html to end up executing
C:\inetpub\scripts\CGIData.exe
2. The remote user doesn't know CGIData.html actually executes something
else
3. You want requests to http://..../AnotherHTMLPage.html to end up served as
a normal HTML page

To do this remapping, you just configure an Application mapping on
http://..../CGIData.html for the .html extension and set the mapping's
Script Engine to C:\inetpub\scripts\CGIData.exe.

This way, only requests to http://..../CGIData.html actually end up causing
IIS to execute C:\inetpub\scripts\CGIData.exe on the server (client still
only sees http://..../CGIData.html since it is not privy to what happens on
the server). Other requests to http://..../AnotherHTMLPage.html continue to
be served as a normal HTML page

Hi,

Thank you for your answer, but how can I do application mapping?

I search IIS help and found nothing about mapping, I looked inside IIS
itself nothing related to mapping was thier.
