I heard differently from someone who had been tracing packets...

They said the worm is sent along as part of the GET request, and there is 
no requirement for a subsequent connection.

I'm going to do a trace myself to see if I can confirm this.

BTW is there any that XITAMI can be configured to perform a specific 
action depending on a request such "Get /default.ida..." ?

Or how could create a page which would satisfy this GET request?
