AFAIK, this is a common trick for domains where there are either large
numbers of cookies or large cookies in use. Then it becomes worth moving
your static images to a server outside of the domain name, so that the
cookies are not sent during the static requests. (IMHO, IANAL, just
guessing, etc....)
Well, that could be mitigated by a sane implementation of cookies. Blame
the web developer for this.
(e.g., set cookies on www.paypal.com instead of .paypal.com, and suddenly
there is no issue)
True, but then https://secure.example.com/ doesn't get the cookies that
http://www.example.com/ set, nor is the reverse true.
Moving everything under www.example.com (subdomain.www.exampl.com)
except for images and stuff that doesn't need cookies is an option, but
it's a huge undertaking with an existing website.
