> 2^40 users encrypting the same message? How about probably the single-most-encrypted block in history: 'GET http://www.g' http://www.g'?

  It would actually be something like: GET / HTTP/1.1 ? where the ? is the first letter of the most common first request header. A bit less reliable for a given target (due to needing to guess the header), but a bit more effective in general (due to not actually caring about the domain).

    HTTP 1.1 does allow absolute URIs though they probably aren't used as much.
    • klodolph 11y ago
      They're really only used for connecting to proxies.
  • klodolph 11y ago
    The ? is the 17th byte, unnecessary.

      You're right, I forgot that the HTTP spec calls for Windows line endings. That means the header doesn't even matter.

      Unless 1/n-1 record splitting is used that is common with TLS 1.0. Fortunately HTTP spec uses Windows line endings.

  GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n Usually the URI in an HTTP/1.1 request is relative.
