So here it is

During my last post I talked about a networking site that looked to have a problem with their site. Sine then, I have written to them detailing my understanding and interpretation of the issue, and they haven't got beyond thanking me and promising to have someone talk to me about it. Well , its been a long while, and apparently, they aren't interested.
So , here are the details on it:

http://linkedin.com/redirect?url=http://anerobic.blogspot.com sends you to this page.
url encoding the request to obfuscate it used to work earlier, when I first reported the problem, but stopped working after that. So , apparently, they did something, I mean, some fixing, to weed out potential phish bait urls which were url encoded. So, this doesnt work anymore
