Got it. So is BOHTTPD a patch?

My apologies. BOHTTPD is a testing environment which demonstrates the security holes. BOHTTPD is actually a tiny web server which runs in your browser (via a Java applet) and allows you to share files with other users with your browser. It's a cool app but very dangerous if malice is applied.

AOL will have to put out the patches. They know about it and will soon post patches.

Regards,
