ASP Code Doesn't Go Across the Web, Revisited

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

Several readers, including Jason Kopplin, reminded me of an old bug in Internet Information Server that can actually allow your ASP code to be retrieved across the web. This was discovered a while back; however, many users are probably not aware of it. To see if you have the bug on your server, simply append ::$DATA to the end of an URL using an ASP page. If you see the code, you've got the bug on your system. For more information and solutions for the bug, visit <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q188/8/06.ASP">this URL</a> on Microsoft's support site.
