<H3>Disabling Scripting</H3>
<P>IIS allows a user to set the script and execute permissions on a Virtual Directory separately
from its Write permissions. Normally, administrators who wish to allow script and program execution on a virtual
directory disallow writing to that virtual directory (this will keep clients from uploading executable scripts
or programs to a directory and executing them).
<P>However, when a virtual directory is enabled for BITS uploads, then even though Write permissions on the
virtual directory has been disallowed, clients can write to this directory via BITS uploads. To protect the server,
BITS disables all Script and Execute permissions on a BITS-Upload enabled Virtual Directory.
To make sure that this virtual directory is secure, BITS Server extensions will check to make
sure that these permissions are disabled before responding to any client request for uploading
data. If these permissions are enabled at any time, BITS Server Extensions will deny all
upload requests thereafter, until the permissions are disabled again. Every time the BITS Server
extension denies a request in such an environment, it will write a log entry in the IIS logs.
