    Hi,
    
    the described workaround does work for Notes-Servers not using CGI at all.
    However, there is still a problem with hiding the cgi's in a different
    script directory:
    
    GET /cgi-bin/test HTTP/1.0
    
    HTTP/1.1 200 Found
    Server: Lotus-Domino/Release-4.6.2a
    Date: Thu, 23 Dec 1999 07:58:37 GMT
    Content-Base: http://192.168.64.8/CeGeIh/test
    Content-Type: text/html
    Content-Length: 1841
    
    Notes sends the ,,real'' script directory in the Content-Base-Field of the
    header. Using this information, the machine can still be crashed. (tested
    successfully)
    
    This is tested with 4.6.2a only since I don't have any other versions.
    
         Gruesse,
