Nice try. Can I talk to your employer for a minute? :)

Honestly, the language doesn't make any difference here, and there isn't much
you can do unless you control both sides, i.e. the server and the client. But
I would suggest you actually talk to your employer yourself to see if there's
an official way to get what you want.
