[Pound Mailing List] XSS, redirects and 30x Status pages

About a year ago Kevin Bowling submitted a patch wrt the subject, but it 
doesn't seem to have been committed (at least, it doesn't seem to be in the 
code for 2.7a).

Basically the problem is this:

  pci/dss scans send an XSS test that gets redirected by pound. Users see the 
redirected page. The pci/dss scan sees an unsanitized 30x status page from 
pound that includes the potential XSS vulnerability.

The vulnerability is not real, afaict, but the aggravation of establishing 
pci/dss certfication is.

Is the patch available for testing? Or is there another way of dealing with 
this issue.
