====== snip quote begin ======
E.g., the attacker would send:

GET /pizza?toppings=pepperoni;address=attackersaddress HTTP/1.1
X-Ignore-This:

And the server uses the victim's account to send a pizza to the attacker.
======= snip quote end =======

This attack is highly theoretical beyond believe, specially the X-Ignore-This-and-That headers. Is has no real and practical value whatsoever. Here some interesting observations and opinion by others: http://blogs.technet.com/srd/archive/2010/02/09/details-on-the-new-tls-advisory.aspx

X-Abuse-Me:
X-Description: I will ignore any content in Abuse-Me header
X-More-Description: I accept headers also after the body part has been sent
X-Conclusion: I'm vulnerable to user input and on transit
