From apache you can’t tell a browser how to handle a certain type of file, unless it’s some commonly used mime-type/application mapping. Your best bet may be to create yourself a mime-type by using
AddType, something like:When someone uses something like Firefox to open your file with the hede extension, they’ll get a window that asks how they should handle the
application/hedemime-type, they can then browse and select the script located in /usr/bin.
