Well, I don't know why something has 'suddenly' become a problem: its
a known issue for years. The HTTP smuggling
[http://www.watchfire.com/resources/HTTP-Request-Smuggling.pdf]
attacks made that very obvious 5 years ago now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining has a decent overview.

Its nice an interesting that some recent software has it on, but that
is generally because the authors don't realise how broken it is,
IMNSHO :).
