Woo Hoo!!!!
You force it to give up an internal server bug...
This you can actually send to the vendor and say,
"Uh, like Dude, I was trying to automate
around your web interface, and Like,
uh, why does your cgi-bin code here hurl a 500
error out???"
and pad a bit with the 'is this a security risk'...
be polite.
There could be the need to triple guard that @D
thingie with
'RC="\@D"....'
this way we make sure it got into the game safely
