Hi,
i don't understand. The proxy is even delivering pages when there is no
security token at all. e.g.

http://shindig.mydomain/gadgets/proxy?url=google.com

At the server the page is requested from, there is no indication, that it is
fetched by a proxy. There could be severe legal trouble if someone abuses
our open proxy to do something illegal as we have no way to prove otherwise.

So my idea was to whitelist the domains from which the proxy will fetch
content.

Best Regards

Karsten Beyer
