wwwdl overflow fix
------------------

This server patch fixes the wwwdl based exploit that causes all players to disconnect from all patches (including ettv).

------------------------------------------------------------------
This bug normally causes all players to disconnect when the the command is run by an attacker.
After the fix, it still shows up in the log, but only the attacker gets kicked.
------------------------------------------------------------------

People are apparently exploiting the wwwdl command to cause all clients on the server to be dropped with "illegible server command" 

Here's a quick and dirty workaround server admins can use to prevent this: 

1) Open etded.exe / .x86 in your favorite binary safe editor. 

2) Find the string 
"SV_WWWDownload: unexpected wwwdl %s" 

3) Change the %s to %x 

4) Profit! 


Ty benny for pointing this exploit out.
