[Koha] Data Leakage through Cover Requests

[Bruce A. Metcalf]

Greetings,

An article came to my attention today that suggests that private data is 
being read by Amazon and Google when patrons use an OPAC that pulls 
cover images from these services. The article is here:

What is not clear to me is if Koha has this same problem, and if so, if 
it can be prevented.

The blog post outlines a procedure for testing for this issue, but it's 
beyond my skill level to try it; perhaps someone else has the time and 
interest.

If such evil is the price of having cover images served by third 
parties, then we can each decide if it's worth it, or if we want to 
develop a workaround.

Regards,
