Manually adding 's' to 'http' @Iszi. Quite. It's not strange. At all. At all at all. I know that. And I'd expect everyone else to know it. So .... I feel I'm not explaining myself well. |

Manually adding 's' to 'http' @Iszi. Sorry, perhaps I should have put the word strangely in italics. |

Manually adding 's' to 'http' On shared hosting, it seems quite common for a HTTPS request to respond with a certificate made out to snakeoil.dom signed by the Snake Oil CA. Strangely, browsers don't trust this (not least because the domain name doesn't match), but the connection is still encrypted. |

A safe license System Some programs "phone home" for license verification, but if they can't reach their home server, they assume that everything's working. So they'll be fine as long as you're offline (or, being nastier, you can edit your hosts file and redirect their home servers to the loopback address). |

Should I prevent sending of GET requests for urls that are normally operated with POST request? As in, in PHP, check the $_POST array, not the $_REQUEST array. |

How can my country's legal/telecoms environment protect against cold-callers conning a remote-access session to the victim's computer? Happened to my mother here in Ireland. She called me in a panic. I assured her she could safely ignore it. |
