Samuel Christy-Miller

Samuel Christy-Miller, originally Samuel Christy and from 1862 by royal licence actually Samuel Christie Miller [1] (1810–1889) was an English businessman and politician.

Life

He was the second son of Thomas Christy of Essex, eldest son of Miller Christy, and Rebecca Hawlings.[1][2] He became a partner in the hat-making firm Christy & Co.[3]

Christy was related, though distantly, to William Henry Miller, who died in 1848. He inherited indirectly from Miller an estate, and a noted library, in 1852.[3][4] At that point he changed surname to Christy-Miller. Miller had been Member of Parliament for Newcastle under Lyme, and Christy-Miller also stood successfully for that constituency.[5] He was a Peelite.

gollark: With compression, an attacker can make the client browser send different things in the headers it DOES control, and see which ones cause the size to be smaller.

gollark: It's quite interesting. Basically, the cross origin model allows other sites to send arbitrary POST/GET requests with some constraints on headers with access to browser cookies and such, but not see the response.
gollark: Header compression is actually supported in some stuff but disabled due to security issues due to the awful cross origin model.
