On the other hand, several attacks against the above techniques cropped up in 
the
recent few years, and I'd like to summarize them in this message. All attacks 
assume
an XSS condition in the application (actually, on the host for which the 
cookies/basic
auth is used), and using this XSS condition, the data in the HttpOnly 
cookie/basic
auth is read.


It looks like the attacks fall into three categories:

- attacks requiring XSS + TRACE.
- attacks requiring XSS + request smuggling.
- attacks requiring XSS + a test script that acts similarly to the
TRACE method, returning request values to the browser.

Am I reading that properly?

Regards,
Brian
