Re: Does the Windows AUX bug affect Web servers also?

I tested it with Apache 1.3.27 on my win-box with
GET/POST/PUT/OPTIONS/-requests. It just displays me the default 403
error-page.
Here the line of the error.log-logfile:
[Wed Jul 09 21:40:23 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Filename is not valid:
d:/inetserv-docroot/aux

Is it possible to also crash a Web server hosted on a Windows box using
a URL something like:

    http://www.somebody.com/aux

If this particular URL is okay, maybe there are other URLs that will
cause a crash.  For example, POSTing a form to a URL containing AUX.

This problem could be in any Windows Web server such as IIS, Apache,
ColdFusion, etc..

(I don't have access to a Windows Web server to try this out myself.)
