[mat-wg] Proposal for public HTTP measurements

Hi Robert and the MAT-WG,

This is an interesting proposal and I'm happy to see RIPE open up HTTP
requests a bit more. I hope that as you do, the WG can share thoughts on
the balance of privacy and security with measurement objectives, since that
will better inform concurrent efforts.

Case in point – there are interesting parallels between this proposal and
OONI's Header Field Manipulation Test [1]. RIPE might be interested in
exploring similar services to return headers to potentially detect inflight
modification, or better yet to whitelist OONI's helper services.

Cordially,
Collin
