But wouldn't using SSL authentication on Web Servers also add an extra layer of security?

Okay, let's see here. I don't think SSL authentication is gonna cut it for this one (C), and I'm not a big fan of active script detection either (D). Yep, gotta be option A all the way!

I disagree, I believe option B is more effective in detecting strange Unicode requests.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm leaning towards B - setting up an IDS to catch those strange Unicode requests. Can't be too careful with these sneaky attacks, you know?

Ah, the classic obstructed URL attack. Gotta love how the bad guys try to sneak past our defenses with all those funky characters. I'd go with option A - keep those hex-encoded weirdos out of my web server!
