not everyone experiences this
interesting.. where'd you hear that? i've never gotten any request for a word verification, either. i don't understand why their server would interpret HTTP pipelining as an attack, however. HTTP pipelining is using the same TCP socket connection, but sending and receiving more than one request at a time. is there a security risk in doing this? it's still one client, one open socket. the data transmitted through that socket shouldn't be relevant, because it's still controlled by their server. if the browser started using parallel TCP connections and opened up 25 different sockets at once, then that might be a little suspicious.
