[users@httpd] block exe file type transfers

[D <mr...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm running apache 2.0.52 on a redhat linux system as a reverse proxy.
Is it possible to prevent/cancel all browser requests for a particular file
type (specifically *.exe files)? If so, how?
Thanks!

You may use RewriteRule with forbidden (F) flag
