I'm calling for a stress test here.
I've written a script to dump the contents of a file out as a text/html stream and I want to make sure I've built enough checks into it to prevent anyone from using it to access files I'd rather they didn't.
Update (Aug. 16): Found a more efficient way of doing what I was using that for. So the file's gone. Don't bother trying.
The file is http://heimdall.shacknet.nu/cgi-bin/file.cgi and you call it with a parameter equal to the filename you want to access.
i.e. http://heimdall.shacknet.nu/cgi-bin/file.cgi?test would dump out the file called test. (Path names are all relative to a particular directory)
So, try and access files you shouldn't be able to, but please let me know if you succeed.
Oh, and I reitterate my point about IE being a P.O.S. browser that can't display anything properly. God this site looks ugly in it.
Speaking of not displaying properly...
This is what your site looks like when I first load up. It fixes itself when I refresh. It's with Galeon, on Linux, and Mozilla on Windows. Probably a Gecko problem, but I figured I'd let you know.
Are you still having problems with mine?
I've been trying to work on that one. I think it has something to do with the fact that it's not sure of the image size before it loads the rest of the webpage.
I've currently put everything in a giant table and haven't seen it since. Let me know if it keeps doing it and I'll mess with my img tags to see if I can fix it.
I'm not having any issues with your site anymore. I'm guessing it was just failing to get the new stylesheet.
Edit: Actually, judging by the entry at the top there, I'd say the table didn't fix anything. Time to mess with my script then.
Edit #2: Okay, let me know if it does that again.

It didn't do it when I loaded it this time.
But boo for using tables for formatting. You should know better than that. :)
Yes yes yes. Tables for formatting == very bad. I know that. :P
Actually, the tables are gone now. I've replaced the script that outputted the images with a server side include that outputs the <img> tags complete with height and width. Unfortunately it slows the loading of the page down what with all the server side includes that are now being called. I think I'm going to have to look into some way of making it faster.
