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.
edit: clarification
edit: linux works too, as expected.
