[Jim] There are several RFCs that deal with "improper" characters in URLs Anyway it is used on internet (as I mentioned some time ago) therefore restricting it will result in problems. [Jim] It is being improperly used in request URLs - lazy web devs that don't understand the value of POST More security-less features, ratio decision is up to you. [Jim] at least we agree here Additionally Cross site scripting checking has to be done on web server application side not on client side level or client's proxy otherwise it doesn't solve problem. [Jim] absolutely, unequivocally, irrefutably FUD. Script injection requires a client-server relationship or it can't be used. If the client never sends the request to the server, the server can't fall victim to it. Thus, be a good net-neighbor and block it at your outbound proxy.

I've been looking for them myself with no luck. If you could even just point me to the right place, that would be great. Thanks, Rob This mail was checked for viruses by GFI MailSecurity.
