Analysis of Request Fingerprinting, Caching Strategies, and System Redundancy in Web Applications
Using Request Fingerprints to Identify Duplicates Fingerprinting a request—often by creating a hash of the request content—is a common approach to identifying duplicates in web applications. However, several limitations make this method less than ideal: Imperfect Uniqueness: Hash functions, while generally effective at generating unique identifiers for different inputs, can still produce collisions, where two different requests yield the same...
