    Hi David:
    
    I tried the AVOID.EXE from my Win98 PC and pointed it at my
    www.spiceisle.com webserver, which is running NT4/IIS3/SP4 with the IIS GET
    hotfix.
    
    The following was reported in the IIS log file:
    
    nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn,-,22/01/99,07:57:37,W3SVC,WWW,205.214.207.98,401,10183,101,4
    00,0,-,-,-,
    
      where nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of my workstation.
    
    
    AVOID.EXE returned the following information in the DOS window that I ran it
    from:
    
            C:\download>avoid www.spiceisle.com
    
            HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
            Content-Type: text/html
    
            <body><h1>HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
            </h1></body>•c
            HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
            Content-Type: text/html
    
            <body><h1>HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
            </h1></body>•c
    
    
    Looks like the server's safe once SP4 and the IIS GET hotfix are loaded.
    
    
    HTH,
    Brian Steele
