Comment on Why Java's Object.hashCode() is unsafe for use in distributed systemsparent

How in the world would does the described issue with hash codes on distributed systems fix the issue of hash collisions in a request? Usually the attacker would send multiple parameters for "a","\0a","\00a" in a single request anyhow.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your first post then. By "the issue", I thought you were referring to the issue that the randomized-hash set out to solve (DOS attacks/pathological performance due to predictable hashes)
