Passing Parameters within HTML

[Dale F.]

Here's a bit of HTML that attempts to pass a "/Begin"
parameter to an EXE file. (The EXE file compiles some
data and returns an HTML response.)

<form method="POST"
action="http://11.22.33.444/MyFolder/MyEXEFile.exe/Begin">

I've seen this work on different PCs before. Today,
however, the browser seems to recognize the call if I
leave off the parameter but gives me "The page cannot be
found" error when I include the parameter. I am using IE
6.0. Whazzup?

Can someone advise me?

Thank you,

Dale F.

I don't think that's the correct syntax for a parameter. In this
construction, "Begin" looks like the lowest level folder or a file name.
