Does this work in the browser? How will paths to different resources used by the web app work?

What is the benefit of using HTTPS for this particular use case?

Last time I had to build an ORDER BY clause in MySQL, it didn't support query parameters in prepared statements, which is probably how this happens. It's not an excuse at all but the standard path of "just throw a ? (or whate

Quite. And the era when everyone was trying to "do their own thing" with UI design wasn't exactly pleasant or usable. Just have a look at some of these designs, for example http://hallofshame.gp.co.at/mshame.h
