I haven't tested it myself, but the original reporter said that he
suspected it *would* fail on NT.
You can try it for yourself on Win2K with the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/.../
If you get a directory listing of the %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps directory,
then you are subject to the same security vulnerability and should
upgrade. I'd like to know if it's OK under W2K, though, in order to say
the right thing in the announcement email.
