Also fun: try to tunnel TCP over TCP.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s an interactive page, not a blog post

It's a webpage with buttons that take you to another webpage.

It’s stateful. You can visit the same location with different states.

Congratulations, you have free will. Of course so does the creator of the site, and they have chosen (a choice I would make also, FYI) to construct the game this way, so you have to part ways.

I ran into an interesting variation of this where we shouldn't have had any problems with small packets, but it turned out we had having jumbo frames enabled in AWS (which seems to be a default now). Together with gzip, you can actually have a bit of trouble filling up a packet, which will then be delayed by the commonly mentioned interaction with delayed ACKs.

This site covers things that are not news most of the time.

I very much understand your frustration. Hate JS web page as well, but this kinda game multipage logic type of thing SPA is better. Just wish I can only give authorization to certain JS api.

A few months ago there had been multiple articles about this behaviour but i really don‘t remember the details anymore. Does anyone know a writeup with a detailled explanation to understand how it is happening and tests to see whether your systems are affected?

> Of course so does the creator of the site,

I find it very debatable that putting information on the internet does not come with associated mandatory responsibilities
