    Probably both.
    
    I've had conflicting reports on the infection method. Some have said the
    worm inserts the javascript into *every* .htm, .html and .asp it finds
    whereas one of the AV vendors (sophos) had a list of specific filenames that
    it modified:
    
    index.html
    index.htm
    index.asp
    readme.html
    readme.htm
    readme.asp
    main.html
    main.htm
    main.asp
    default.html
    default.htm
    default.asp
    
    http_get supplies a Host: header where a servername has been specified - is
    it worth adding another request to the plugin which just uses the IP? (This
    should view the web root in IIS?)
    
    regards,
