>From our operations team:

1) Chunked Encoding issue is being handled by a work-around Perl handler -
this doesn't really affect us anyway since this only comes into effect
during uploads (which we don't do)
2) SSL vulnerabilities are being taken care of as well by local
configuration.  The other vulnerabilities mentioned are client side, so
don't affect us :)

Thank you for your concerns.
