I am in Pakistan right now and find the whole situation amusing. Perhaps they should block queries to root name servers as well since ICANN are not blocking the queries to zones that can resolve blasphemous domains. Yeah. That would service the Internet *right*!

The lower-cost automated ones don't care. It's all handled by software; at no point in the process (on the CA side) is a human involved. And I'm betting that if the browsers aren't catching it, neither are the CAs.

Somehow all the CA softwares are reading beyond the null whereas most of the browsers stop doing so?

I tried to drag and drop a jpg in a browser window (Firefox) to some photo editor. It didn't work. Macs and Windows have been able to do this since at least the mid-90s. I have no idea if you can drag an image from Firefox to the Gimp nowadays, and I don't care.

Just tried it, GIMP connected to the server and pulled the image from there. Not sure if that's how you want it to work though.

Apparently mobile network companies thrive under anarchy.

I live in Pakistan and get unlimited quota for sending texts for only $0.0375 per day. Charges for receiving texts/calls were abandoned about 8 years ago when most of the operators switched from AMPS to GSM.
