******************************************************
By making the request again, but ammeding the Cookie Value, or if one is
not prersent, simply add it as an HTTP header request, we can cause a
stack based overflow within WAHTTP.exe
The same Overflow can also be achieved in numerous other fields.
If we take the sapdbwa_GetQueryString, we can simply pass an additional
parameter by appending & + string
