Hi. I recently made 2 ActiveX objects - an ActiveX Control (OCX) which calls the 2nd object, an ActiveX EXE. To test them I created a simple HTML page with both objects on it. I put this test page on an IIS website and everything works fine... the first time you are prompted to download both objects and then they are run.
However, when I put this same page on a Linux server running Apache, the page loads but nothing happens.. I am not asked to download the objects and the objects don't fire up. From what I can find on the net, Apache should be able to handle HTML pages with ActiveX objects in them since the components don't run on the server and the server just acts to upload them to the client system. Is this correct?
Does anybody have any idea what could be causing our Linux server to not behave properly?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
