Re: What is metadata, exactly?
"StartPage has a user option that by default sends your search request as an HTTPS request as a POST rather than a GET. "
However - a quick test with WireShark suggests that the GET on HTTPS isn't visible on the wire?
Not that I am confident about my setting the right options for WireShark to do that. Basically I just switched off TCP decode - and then did a "find" on a "string".
Did StartPage use to be an HTTP connection where GET and POST did make a difference to visibility on the wire?
