Detecting States of Authentication With Protected Images
An IMG tag pointed at a file inside a members-only directory fires onerror when the visitor is not authenticated, so any page can detect a user's login state on a third-party site. A changed image size after login works the same way. Grossman and the author could not extend it beyond protected images and scripts.
