Hello 3APA3A,

OK, format string issue exists only in proposed patch... What about this
issue:

There are (at least) 2 buffer overflows with heap corruption, tpbuf can
be up to 210 characters while getreqs[i] is malloc(100). Of cause,
target file should exist... tpbuf is base dir concatenated with 100
bytes of user's request. It does strips all ".." and "/.", but what
about "///////////" ?

simply try GET '/'x100 in few concurrent connections.

/* ---- So? Does all this mess find us the right file?
        BTW - Check to make sure it isn't a directory... */
if ((doesfileexist(tpbuf)==1) && (isadir(tpbuf)==0)) {
               strcpy(getreqs[i],tpbuf); return 0; }

...

/* ---- No? How 'bout this? */
if (tpbuf[strlen(tpbuf)-1]!=SLASH) strcat(tpbuf,"/");
strcat(tpbuf,INDEXFILE);
if (doesfileexist(tpbuf)==1) {
               strcpy(getreqs[i],tpbuf); return 0; }
