+ HTML manglizer
+ --------------

+ Copyright (C) 2004 by Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf@coredump.cx>
+
+ A trivial utility to automatically check for HTML parsing flaws. Generates
+ a basic set of badly mangled tags on request, with auto-refresh back to the
+ script, so that you can point a browser to it once, and let it run until
+ it crashes.
+
+ Put it in your cgi-bin directory or any other Apache folder with ExecCGI option
+ enabled, then visit the URL http://<yourserver>/<cgidir>/mangleme.cgi.
+
+ When the browser crashes, error-log should be examined for the last matching
+ entry generated by mangle.cgi; extract the hexadecimal value, then invoke
+ remangle.cgi?hex_value from the browser again. If it crashes, you've reproduced
+ the problem, and can save the remangle.cgi page using wget or such.
+
+ Check gallery/ for some samples.
