That's very helpful, thanks warescouse.
Can someone explain how such shenanigans can break HTTP apps please? And why HTTP is particularly significant. Not just for me, a techno-semi-literate, but it would be useful detail to add in my enlightening letters to John Hutton and Shriti Vadera at BERR and my MP, and I don't wish to misinform, or only partially inform.
Is it possible to put clear links to, or the actual technical information of this nature, on a webpage that is easily accessed? Useful links on this thread easily get lost because it moves fast.
