Patch Description: Addresses the issue:
HTTP POST can be issued against files in the protected directory.

Installation Procedure:
- patch -p0 < hotfix-32.patch
Protecting New Directories:
- Log in as siteadmin (Frontpage should not be enabled for your site).
- Go to apache->protect directories.
- Enter the info and protect the directory.
- Check the .htaccess file inside that directory, it should have the proper GET and POST directives against the Limit tag
Re-apply the directory protection to existing directories:
- For directories already protected with an earlier version of Ensim Pro, you will have to re-protect all the existing protected directories.
- Follow steps 1 and 2 as mentioned in the previous section.
- Now unprotect the directory, and again protect it.
- Again, check the .htaccess file for the GET and POST tags.
Note: If you already have protected directories on server then you can execute the attached file to apply fixes to them.
