ReverseDOS 2.1 Broken


Not sure how it happened, but it's broken. Jamie Thinglestad initially reported some goofiness with ReverseDOS blocking requests that it shouldn't have. He was kind enough to send me some log files for analysis... and sure enough, there were some 403s where they didn't belong.

Then, today, I noticed in my logs some similar patterns. (So much for testing... ) I'll evaluate this as soon as I get a chance. Until then, ReverseDOS is out of commission. If you have 1.2, you're fine. If you have 2.1 you'll need to disable it (sorry, REALLY sorry). You can do that by making your web.config look like this:

<reverseDOS>
<settings enabled="false" >

I'll post details as soon as I have them (I'm sadly swamped with a few projects right now). I've got a few ideas on what COULD cause a problem like this... so I'll evaluate them ASAP.

   Excitedly waiting for 2.2 or 3.0, whatever comes next. ReverseDOS does exactly what we need to stop the "evil doers" in their tracks!
