8You might find Joels article, Martian Headsets to be of interest. Also of special note is RFC 793: Robustness Principle, which explicitly states that TCP implementations should try their best to parse rubbish. This principle has since been applied to browsers.Brian– Brian2013-06-07 19:30:24 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2013 at 19:30

2@gsingh2011 None of the answers are satisfying, but my answer is the truth. Some of us here were active on the net that long ago :-) But yeah, it's astonishing how much junk we're left with for such simple reasons.Ross Patterson– Ross Patterson2017-04-26 23:48:39 +00:00Commented Apr 26, 2017 at 23:48

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
