The matches for JavaScript on.* generate a few false positives, e.g. with cookies that contain base64-encoded md5sums, e.g. Cookie: foo=...ZQ/ONSQg==. The vast majority of those false positives could be prevented if the string was tested explicitly against the known event handlers. The following patch should achieve this, but I've only verified that it compiles:
