I didn't write this back then, even though I intended to -- but since
this is a recurring topic, here it finally goes. :)

I believe this to be overly complex and complicated. Why all this
limitations and being that specific? There is no need to match the
entire URL. Actually, there is no need to match anything you actually
aren't interested in -- which is the extension. :)  What about this?

uri  EXECUTABLE  /\.(?:exe|scr|dll|pif|vbs|wsh|cmd|bat)$/i

Beware. Untested.  Isn't that much more easily readable and
comprehensible? And while I'm already at it, if you want to match slash
chars (as often the case with uri tests), just use a different RE
delimiter, to avoid the fences and enhance readability.

  uri  EXAMPLE_NET  m,^https?://example.net/,


Hope this helps maintaining your custom cf files.
