There's already a "Live HTTP Headers" plug-in for Firefox (I use it daily) - I wonder if something like a "Zone Alarm" for Firefox or something would sniff out XMLHttpRequest() activity and pop up a quick message if a site is trying to use it, how it's being triggered, and giving you the option of always allowing it, and keeping a log of what's passed through the request. So, if you're on Gmaps, etc. you can give it a free pass.
In the same ways popups that are triggered with onLoad and onUnload events are usually blocked by default, triggering XMLHttpRequest() with OnKeyPress or the like would be an automatic default block. It's probably not entirely feasible, but could be an interesting experiment... Hmm... - Jim Jochem van Dieten wrote: >Larry C.
