The details of this advisory discuss several other ways of getting the
IP address. The MS KB article discusses the Content-Location HTTP
header. This only happened if the default page was static in nature
(i.e. not an asp page). Many people may have neglected to use this
workaround as they do not use static content, thinking that, because of
this they weren't vulnerable.

As the advisory shows though there are many ways to get this
information. There will probably be more.
