I have just made up that address. I also generally trust the robustness
of my tools (e.g: my browser).

However, you don't have to trust anything:

  $ GET http://pr0n.sh 
  500 Can't connect to pr0n.sh:80 (Bad hostname 'pr0n.sh')

But I have not made up that method. It has been used for legitimate
methods before.
