Re: shtml.exe reveal local path of IIS web directory

[matt () TELEPATH COM (Matt Carothers)]

Microsoft's frontpage module for Apache displays the same behavior.

http://www.whoever.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/whatever.html returns
'Cannot open "/document/root/whatever.html": no such file or folder.'

http://www.whoever.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/whatever.something returns
'Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions' Smart HTML interpreter on this
non-HTML page: "whatever.something"'

Tested on mod_frontpage/3.0.4.3
