    Yesterday a user told me they couldn't log in to my parliamentary monitoring site. On investigating, I found that Microsoft email security was logging in on behalf of my user by executing a POST. This broke the single-use sign-on link. Executing POSTs is usually considered unacceptable, and in this way Microsoft again transgresses an important norm. Here's how to deal with the specific POST problem & what might be done about these transgressions in general:

      Shifting Cyber Norms: Microsoft security POST-ing to you - Bert Hubert's writings
      tl;dr: Microsoft and other email security scanners will visit the links in email you transmit, and run the JavaScript in those links, including calls that lead to POSTs going out. This used to be unacceptable, since POSTs have side effects. Yet here we are. This breaks even somewhat sophisticated single-use sign-on / email confirmation messages. Read on for how to deal with this, and some thoughts on how we should treat gatekeepers like Microsoft that can randomly break things & get away with it.
