Package: Tinyproxy
Version: 1.8.3-3
Error Message: none
What I did:
I installed tinyproxy and configured it, without changing anything
headers specifically.
Than I browsed some anonymity checking websites.
All those sites reported that the order of the http headers was
manipulated.
Problem description:
Some Trackers (like for example google-analytics) are creating a
signature of the web-browsers headers.
the fact that most browsers are using different orders of their headers
makes them more fingerprintable and trackable.
Tinyproxy manipulated the order of the http headers, so the header
signature of my firefox looked different than the one of all other
people using firefox.
That kind of individual fingerprint made me much more trackable through
the web.
Fixing:
Please change the headers processing behavior so that the order of the
headers from the webbrowser is not manipulated, while surfing the web.
Whether some headers are filtered for anonymity or not. I did not even
filter any headers.
I was using Debian GNU/Linux 7.8, kernel 3.2.68-1 and libc6 2.13-38.
