    Hi akcess,
    
    
    thx for your feedback. But not all of your comments are right.
    First I wrote this in the advisory:
    
    [qoute]
    The vendor has reportedly been notified. But the vendor told us that is
    an old bug. We don't think so.
    [/ qoute]
    
    Alright perhaps next time it will be better to mention the url of the
    old bug. And of course it is an "another form of the old bug" but did
    you really read the old advisory? For example the recommended solution?

    .....:[ Vendor Status :
    
    14/04/03 Initial Contact Made
    15/04/03 Vendor Responded
    15/04/03 Vendor Released Updated Version
    
    .....:[ Solution :
    
    Remove old iWeb application and download and install the updated
    version which can be found at:
    
    http://ashleybrown.co.uk/downloads/iws2.exe
    [/qoute]
    
    And this is the point. We tested the "safe" iWeb Server2 and still found
    this bug. So we don't think that it is fixed. Because of the reaction of
    the vendor we deceided to post this here.
    
    And of course thanks for hints to posidron's "work". He "rebuilded" this 
    tool with the help of your hints.
    
    
    Have a lot of fun
    
    Rushjo
