It's quite straightforward to dump the entire header in a web log or database, and I'm sure some sites do.

They might have put the envelope in the recycling, but they never have it emptied and someone just told them it contains a £20 note.

It's quite straightforward to dump the entire header in a database, but most sites don't. None of my sites do. Apache, lighttpd, thttpd, etc don't (maybe they do with an appropriate plug-in).

People seemed to be reacting as if every website an O2 customer visited was going to add their phone number to their files, and that's not the case.
