A post-mortem after this bug is fixed would be interesting, I don't see how 2MB of NULL characters should be different from a random <img>.

- laumars 14y agoA random embedded image wouldn't be passed through the HTML parser (at least not if the web server has it's MIMEs set up correctly - and if they don't, then the site would be considerably less usable). It will be interesting to see the results though - to see if the null characters even reach that far or if this is effectively hitting Opera with a zip-bomb

- laumars 14y agoWell yeah, I nearly added that disclaimer myself but then thought it was pretty obvious the previous poster was referring to referenced URIs rather than data URIs. Though I may have misinterpreted his post.
