I think there is a lot of merit to this argument, however, FastCGI defers to CGI/1.1 for `PATH_INFO`, etc., which is lossy as it must be URL-decoded and therefore cannot represent encoded slashes, `%2F`. (Some implementations also collapse `//` to `/` in path, but this is an issue in various HTTP implementations too.)

It is less expressive than HTTP in ways that may or may not be important to your application; I prefer accurate URL handling.

Actually, yeah doesn't seem realistic to me at all

How is this related to the AI bubble?

Using -X POST is often wrong as it "changes the actual method string in the HTTP request [... and] does not change behavior accordingly" (Stenberg, 2015).

Although, it is correct for the article's mention of "Send POST requests"... just that typically people don't send POST requests out of the blue with no data.

Probably not

Anubis et al. are also looking into alternative algorithms. There seems to be consensus that SHA-256 PoW is not appropriate

Do you have a link to your own solution?

The main reason for the non-JS solution is because a lot of people in communities around me, me included, generally block JS in their browsers, and I thought it'd be cool to have a non-JS PoW solution.

To be honest I would prefer if this could be computed with a simple shell script, but calling sha256sum in a loop is ridiculously slow. I might consider other methods of doing proof of work in the future (IIRC it's possible with argon2).
