When I accidentally typed in the wrong domain today for one of my projects, I was greeted with a page similar to the one above. Rogers is now not only inserting “quota warning messages” into your web browsing, but also replacing the standard “domain not found” screen in most web browsers. Quickly checking the HTTP header of this web page, just as I had suspected, Rogers did not adhere to the HTTP protocol standard and it returned a “200″ header (it means everything went alright… but it didn’t). I don’t think ICANN will be very happy to find out about this.
