RE: WEB-MISC http directory traversal

["Hicks, John" <JHicks () JUSTICE GC CA>]

AFAIK there are actually 2 rules for this, 1 triggers on ..\\, the other on
../.

The first is more of a concern imho than the second. If you see it's the
second, my experience says it's usually bad web coding producing relative
URL's like this: www.domain.com/../directory

hth,

John
