Hi, your problem certainly is a security-question. But IMHO you put the cart before the horse. It's a feature not a bug here. For security reasons you should block JavaScript, ActiveX and alike on every internet traffic browsers. If you look around security lists they will tell you many breaches you are opening with allowing the execution of active contents. To be honest: The security-hole is mainly with the user allowing JavaScript or ActiveX, not with the browser calling chmod. The question of finding sw-products with features that produce security-holes is a different one - and not to be discussed here. -------------- ------------------- 9th EICAR Annual Conference in Brussels, Belgium, EU.
