OWASP AppSec Asia 2008: Proxy Caches and Web Application Security

Back to travelling a bit, I have accepted an invitation from Wayne Huang, Chapter Leader, OWASP Taiwan,* to give the following presentation at OWASP AppSec Asia 2008, October 27 - 28, 2008, in Taipei:

Proxy Caches and Web Application Security
Abstract:* Proxy caches, combined with poorly written session management code, can easily lead to serious Internet security breaches. Web application developers cannot know whether their content is consumed directly or via a proxy cache. Developers cannot assume that the HTTP responses will be delivered to the intended browser. Moreover, developers cannot be sure that the intended browser even receives the intented content. Consequently, proxy caches are a serious theat to web application security. *In the presentation, we will discuss the recent security breach Tim found in Google Docs and review web application security and session management topics related to proxy caching.

NAME
Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Asia - Fetch quotes from Yahoo Asia SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote; $q = Finance::Quote->new; %info = $q->fetch("asia","CREA.SI"); # Failover to other methods ok. %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_asia","CREA.SI"); # Use this module only. DESCRIPTION
This module fetches information from Yahoo Asia. Symbols should be provided in the format "SYMBOL.EXCHANGE", where the exchange code is one of the following: SI - Singapore BO - Bombay JK - Jakarta HK - Hong Kong NS - India KS - Korea KL - Kuala Lumpur NZ - New Zealand SS - Shanghai SZ - Shenzhen TW - Taiwan TH - Thailand This module provides both the "asia" and "yahoo_asia" methods. The "asia" method should be used if failover methods are desirable. The "yahoo_asia" method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe. Stocks are returned in the currency of the local exchange. You can use Finance::Quote's set_currency() feature to change the currency in which information is returned. This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter "Yahoo::Asia" to Finance::Quote->new(). Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoo's terms and conditions. See http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details. LABELS RETURNED
This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for a list of these. The currency label is also returned. BUGS
The currency of each exchange has not been thoroughly confirmed. If you find an exchange is returning in an incorrect exchange, please use the bug tool at http://sourceforge.net/projects/finance-quote to report it. SEE ALSO
