On the webserver I have access to that was actually return /etc/passwd when
requested, adding the extra '/' makes it not work.  Go figure.  I'm not
sure which is better and both might be a few too many probes.

This should work for poorly designed webservers that check against a
blacklist like '../' before going through an 'unescape' function.  I'll run
a scan later today to see if I can get anything turns up with this.
