Hi, So like everyone else, I've been bombarded with ads on the BSNL network - I examined the src code and concluded that BSNL was injecting ads.

However this is not true and a careful examination of the Browser Call Stack reveals just that More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/a9nsoz/bsnl_is_not_injecting_the_ads_into_our_http/

Basically, since Javascript files are loaded in reverse order, the CDN JS from TinyPass runs first and injects the 117.254.x.x BSNL IP/JS into the browser page. This results in the browser/Console/Network showing a MAGICAL request to a BSNL IP - leading to the erroneous conclusion that BSNL is rewriting the web-page download and inserting code.

The realty is that it's the CDN JS doing all the mischief and the Browser call stack FOR THAT PARTICULAR BSNL/IP DOWNLOAD shows the truth! TinyPass is hosted on an Airtel n/w - developer.tinypass.com to be specific. I've nevr had problems with my BSNL connection and I request everyone to consider the evidence I'm providing carefully since this looks to be a case of Corporate Sabotage.
