CheckSuspiciousVirtualPath

[J]

Hi group, I can't seem to find any msdn references to this, but our event log
for an ASP.NET web application is filling up with the error
"CheckSuspiciousVirtualPath." I believe it's more informational than
anything. Here's part of the stack trace:
************************************************
System.Web.HttpException
at System.Web.HttpApplication.CheckSuspiciousVirtualP ath(String
virtualPath)
at
System.Web.ValidatePathExecutionStep.System.Web.Ht tpApplication+IExecutionStep.Execute()
at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionS tep step, Boolean&
completedSynchronously)
************************************************
Has anyone seen this or know what it is?

Thanks!
Thanks

Looking at the method with a decompiler shows it is basically looking
for a backslash to appear in the url. This is probably to prevent some
well known exploits...
