======DESCRIPTION======

This application was vulnerable to source code disclosure/download vulnerability when
it was running in Windows OS (NTFS file system).
App parser couldn't handle ADS (Alternate Data Streams) and it treated a data stream as an
usual file. An Attacker could read/download source code of webapps files using default data 
stream (unnamed): "filename::$data".

This issue is like an old security issue in Microsoft Windows IIS [ref-2].

======PROOF OF CONCEPT======

======STEPS TO REPRODUCE======

1.- Start the server.

2.- Go to http://127.0.0.1/index.html::$data
