No, the "fake" URL relied on the way IIS parsed URLs prior to NT Service
Pack 6. IIS used to parse URLs from left to right. Once it found a matching
filename, it would use that filename, and treat any information to the right
as extra information which would be passed to the file as CGI data. This
left-to-right parsing shouldn't have ever worked; it goes against the
standard right-to-left parsing used by other web servers.
The browser, of course, was parsing the URL from right to left the whole
time, so it thought it was requesting the CSV file, not the CFM file.
