Return a 200 with the EICAR test string in the body. Nothing like some data poisoning for some vindictive fun

Heh, I was wondering if you could do something like SSRF exploits, just the other way around. You know, redirect the bot to <cloud-provider-metadata-api>/shutdown.

Even funnier, include the EICAR test string in the redirect ot the cloud provider metadata. Maybe we could trip some automated compromise detection.
