    Great!

    We already discussed about this some months ago (0). My opinion is
simple, if we can detect the vulnerability without actually performing
a DoS attack, lets do it :) The only issue that I see is that maybe
our HTTP library (xUrllib, based on urllib2) might not be able to send
the customized (and probably our of protocol) HTTP requests. What's
the technique you're going to use to detect this vulnerability?
