Quick Proxy Detection
Firefox accepts bracketed IPv6 notation around an IPv4 literal, so http://[123.123.123.123]/img.jpg loads fine in the browser. Apache's proxy does not understand that syntax and will not fetch it, so an embedded image tag with a unique id reveals whether the visitor is behind a proxy. False positives come from cross-domain blockers and same-domain robots.
