"Some browsers actually hand over your email address or other
indications of your identity. In your case it appears the
``HTTP From'' variable was not provided, and the ``REMOTE_USER''
variable was not provided.
The identity of a small percentage of surfers is disclosed by the
``REMOTE_IDENT'' variable; you can use our check on whether you are
being revealed. This test is (quite rightly) blocked by many firewalls;
just interrupt the transfer if you get an abnormal wait after clicking."
In any case, I use this (JunkBusters proxy), and it would block the
information your marketing people wanted -- or send it after munging
it; as another said, I could hit the site an provide someone else's
e-mail address.
Let me know if the do somehow get this implemented. I'd like to visit
the site 30-40 times a day and pass msds_suggestions at msdssolutions.com
as my e-mail address.
