I expect there will be others (far more skilled than I in the art of HTTP abuse) improving on that in the coming days. Steve and I just developed a few examples to demonstrate the severity of the problem. This capability has been characterized as a "blind plaintext prefix injection attack". I don't think many protocols have been designed to be resilient against that kind of thing, those that are not vulnerable are that way by accident. HTTP is particularly susceptible, but I'm sure many more protocols will be found to be exploitable. - Marsh
