Please test version 1.2.5

This looks good in terms of locking file retrieval to ASSP's base directory, but I wonder if more should be done to secure this file retrieval mechanism.  For instance, this can be done:
   http://127.0.0.1:55555/get?file=assp.pl

Is there really any need to allow file retrieval for anything beyond \.(css|gif|ico|jpg|png|txt) ?  Or perhaps it should be anything except .pl ?

I'm not complaining - I'm just thinking of how to make it less susceptible to issues in the future.
