Hey Wei-Chin,

After I installed Xindice in my computer, I found that Xindice allows the
content of the whole C drive to be seen through port 4080.

At a guess, I'd say Xindice is correctly interpreting the "..\.." part of the path as an actual filename, rather than two path steps. Of course this is only a problem because Windows (for some bizarre reason) uses '\' as a filename separator, so when Xindice asks for a file called "..\..", it gets a directory two levels down. Taking another guess, you probably aren't seeing this under IE because it is (brokenly) translating the '\' characters in the path to '/'.


I'll have a look at putting a fix together for this.

Mike.
