Sorry all for late reply, I didn't know there are answers in my question if not from the clean up team.

giamtrot, yes, that's right, preferable a perl code that can work with the request string without alter it, but i know it is imposible, so i would like to know what engine or language should I install in the linux server in order to let it understand activex request...

shirjeel, for sure i've already tried it by hook & by crook on the linux server, it isn't as simple as u think...

dear asta, thanks for your afford, but what you are telling here is far apart from what i ask, i'm working on an active x on unix server, i'm thinking about a way to let the unix server to serve a original activex request string without having to alter the script code in the webpage. That is, to retrieve proper version of files from the cabinet file...

Again thanks all...
