Response to: bad application design shouldn't drive new development
I'd rather dump an app that passes SQL queries as GET/POST parameters rather than try to protect exploiting that... who knows how many other bugs are in it. As for canonizing paths a better approach would be to reject these with HTTP 500. I actually do that in the apps in a more user friendly way but if I don't have the source for something I'd rather show my visitors a HTTP 500 page.
