Fun with HTTP Headers

If you’re responsible for your own webservers, you’ll know that the HTTP Headers sent out with each web request can be modified. Some people do this for security reasons, some people do it just for fun.

Here are some fun ones found in the wild:

X-Disclaimer: The local sysadmins have *nothing* to do with the content of this server.
X-BOFH: http://www.xxxxx.de/bofh/xxxxxx.html
X-MS-Smart-Tags: We have nothing to do with them.
X-Meta-MSSmartTagsPreventParsing: TRUE
Mickey-Mouse: Does_Not_Live_Here
X-Powered-By: Intravenous Caffeine Drips

And last but not least ..

X-Bundy: Here we have 3 of the seven dwarfs, puffy, crabby and horny.
X-Bundy: You know I never danced unless it was gonna get some sex for me.
X-Bundy: I blame it on TV myself.
X-Bundy: To know me is to love me.

Excellent stuff!

Thanks to Carlo for the tip
