Author Filtering Query String
West, I

Hi,

I have a client site who runs IIS5 as his web server with Filemaker 6 as
there backend database.

There is a major security flaw with the Filemaker web publishing engine and
with a simple url string (e.g. fmpro?-format=-dso_xml&-dbnames) you can then
view all the published databases, then you can drill down and view and
execute the scripts in the database and you can view all the data stored in
the database.

What I would like to do is filter the query string, so each time dso_xml is
found in the URL I would like to redirect to a 404 page. I have looked at
URLScan but I can't seem to get it to filter my url strings.

Can anyone give me any suggestions?

TIA

PS. Upgrading to Filemaker 8 is a major project and will take months to
complete as the whole database system has been rebuilt and switching
database products will not happen.
