The binary object download is implemented as an ISAPI application. It uses the ISAPI SendURL function to support binary object downloads. This ISAPI application (binsrv.dll> can run on IIS 2.0 and above.

At present the files are found using the base path name and the UA_CPU attribute sent by the client. The new path is oldPath.cpuType.

  Eg:   Input:   /winnt/ie.cab
        Output:  /winnt/ie.cab.x86    when   UA_CPU = x86
        Output:  /winnt/ie.cab.alpha  when   UA_CPU = alpha
        Output:  /winnt/ie.cab.mips   when   UA_CPU = mips
        Output:  /winnt/ie.cab.ppc    when   UA_CPU = ppc
