Subject: Re: Apache Tomcat 4.1 Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
This doesn't appear to be backwards compatible, (possibly not even cross
platform) though.
Tested on an apache / tomcat 4.0.4 server, running FreeBSD. No alerts,
just an error 400 page...
I don't have access to a tomcat 4.1 system, so can't test there.
