The old "." problem

[nblasgen () NICK REFRACT COM (nblasgen () NICK REFRACT COM)]

A while back there was the problem of Windows HTTP servers with CGI and
other sever parsed pages (ASF, SMX, etc) if you added a "." to the end it
would give you the raw code in TEXT format.  I understand how that was a
security problem.

Just noticed that the same problem is true for at least one Windows FTP
server, Serv-U.  I can't find a problem with being able to request files
with a extra "." at the end.  I was unable to test the idea of downloading
files that I had no permissions too.
