Weird HTTP header at Flickr


I was, with no specific reason, exploring the HTTP headers sent by certain websites. At Flickr, a photograph file was sent using the following header:

X-Henrys-Special-Sauce: original spice

What does this mean at all? Just a easter egg thingy or Yahoo's kind of humour, or is it a term used in programming?

When refreshing the page, the header wasn't sent anymore...


Solution

  • Slashdot still has its X-Bender quote. This is the last one i've got:

    X-Bender:Crippling pain? That's not covered by my insurance fraud.
