Re: [FW-1] scans through HTTP

[Ulysees <Ulysees@FW1-NOSPAMULYSEES.COM>]

odds are this is actually just telling your browser to go and look in c:\ or
whatever, thats what a lot of those so called "pc security" sites do,
it's like saying hello $username they don't actually know any of that
information but you think they do because it echos back local values.
No quick fix as far as I know as there are a lot of reasons why people want
this behaviour
