Description Josh Bressers 2008-12-12 20:46:47 UTC 
Marius Schilder of Google Security reported that when a XMLHttpRequest is
made to a same-origin resource which 302 redirects to a resource in a
different domain, the response from the cross-domain resource is readable
by the site issuing the XHR. Cookies marked HttpOnly were not readable, but
other potentially sensitive data could be revealed in the XHR response
including URL parameters and content in the response body.
