I'm not sure, but doesn't windows treat *.pif files in a similar way as
*.bat? And what about *.lnk?
I dislike windows, so bear with me if this is a stupid question.

You're not writing Apache code per say. You're writing APR code. This
may not matter now, when nobody else is using APR, but at least add a
comment because if and when APR takes off this is a bug that will need to
be fixed. If it isn't added by the time I get back to Raleigh and have
access to a machine with both the code and a modem, I'll add it myself.

I don't know. And I'm not sure it matters for Apache purposes.

Not stupid - and you are correct about .pif (although all four
have differences within the API in execution) - and .lnk files
are relative pointers to any other file (executable or not).
The only answer to .lnk would be to resolve the redirection
immediately upon request and treat it as a Location: redirect,
but then again if that redirected path is outside the
<Directory> space... well what then? A similar question occurs
for .pif. If not carefully handled... then the user downloading
innocent.pif or innocent.lnk ---> C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\FORMAT.COM ???
PIF exists to support old 286 code that wasn't built to execute
in Win32 (using XMS or EMS memory mapping schemes, etc). Do we
want to expose the kernal to that sort of nightmare?
