Yes, it is "much harder". Unless the site had a cache of all the pages that
it was willing to source (the usual case), traffic analysis could easily be
applied to determine the sources for pages because, unlike mail which is
"store and forward", web pages are provided on a realtime connection.

c2.org's been doing it for over a year. had the CoS threaten to sue us
over it, even.
