I use Microsoft Personal Webserver that you get for free with Windows XP Pro. You can set .exe files to be handled through Control Panel/Administrative tools/Internet Information Services. Then select "Web sites" in the tree and select Action/Properties. On the "Home directory" tab click the "Configuration" button. You should hopefully be able to figure it out from there.

I don't think you have any hope of finding a free webhost that supports .exe or .dll files and little hope of finding a cheap one, simply because you can crash or take over a webserver with a little .exe trojan acting like it was a CGI. Most free webhosts don't like that kind of thing :)

Uh... sorry I forgot to mention it but windows 98 also comes with a version of Personal Web Server, and I believe 95 did too. I'm not sure what they can do though.

It seems that most, if not all, web servers that allow CGI are doing so on a unix/linux box. Your best bet is to find one of these that let you program in C. The you can write programs with Asm for a linux platform.

Heres a hello program from http://linuxassembly.org/intro/Assembly-Intro.html

;"hello, world" in assembly language for Linux
;
;to compile:
;
;nasm -f elf hello.asm
;ld -s -o hello hello.o

section .text
global _start ;must be declared for linker (ld)

msg db 'Hello, world!',0xa ;our dear string
len equ $ - msg ;length of our dear string

_start: ;tell linker entry point

mov edx,len ;message length
mov ecx,msg ;message to write
mov ebx,1 ;file descriptor (stdout)
mov eax,4 ;system call number (sys_write)
int 0x80 ;call kernel

mov eax,1 ;system call number (sys_exit)
int 0x80 ;call kernel

I know one and I use it,

It costs $50 for one year

Look at my post I sent in March

http://www.asmcommunity.net/board/index.php?topic=4572&highlight=cgi

THat is really cool, no one responded, but this cgi parser opens the door to the fun part, the actual cgi, not all the parsing has been taken care of
