Zappos Headers
- m0th87 16y agoJust for curiosity's sake, it would be interesting to have an estimate on how many extra gigabytes have been sent over time with these headers.
- minouye 16y agoOr how many hires have come from this
- bkrausz 16y agoThe 2 header lines are 163 bytes (including /r/n). Quantcast (probably very wrong, but the best estimate I can find) says they get 277K visits per day. Not sure what their pages/visits are, but it's that times 43GB/day.
- someone_here 16y agoI think you mean 43MB/Day, not GB.
- bkrausz 16y agoDamn, you're right! Stupid orders of magnitude...

- masklinn 16y agoYou didn't take gzipping in account. Taking it in account, it's 105 bytes.
- bkrausz 16y agoYou can't gzip headers, only content
- alnayyir 16y agoHeaders are how the clients know to gzip the content. You think http libs and web servers figure out whether or not something is gzipped by guessing? :)
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoAlthough it's not guilty of this particular idiocy, IE does like to override MIME types by content- or extension-based guesses. So it would, sadly, not be that surprising.
- abstractwater 16y agoThis is just awesome.
- j_baker 16y ago"Emphasis mine." Heh... How exactly could the emphasis not be his? Last I checked the HTTP protocol didn't have any provision for emphasizing headers, so it couldn't have been the server that added the emphasis. ;-)
- pg 16y agoWell, that worked.
- Timothee 16y ago"Breaking news: Paul Graham quits YCombinator, joins Zappos as a developer"?
- qeorge 16y agoRaanan.com (one of the Automattic staff) has a similar header - check out his X-hacker header: "X-hacker: If you're reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and apply to join the fun, mention this header." http://hurl.it/hurls/bf52ecc89d75c83ee8a68171bd624992607e1629/8af0ad1d9df2a2cbcb583024ecbdd0cb80afcf58 http://hurl.it/hurls/bf52ecc89d75c83ee8a68171bd624992607e162...
- micrypt 16y agoThat's generally on sites hosted by wordpress.com (TechCrunch and others).
- c1sc0 16y agoNice way to cut out the headhunters!

- bbwharris 16y agoIt was an interesting recruiting idea, but it's out there now.
- jackolas 16y agoonly people that care are stil their target, mission achieved.
- Mark_B 16y agoIf you'd like to join in the header-sniffing fun, here's a bookmarklet that will show a site's HTTP headers in a popup: http://pastebin.com/pTDun3GT http://pastebin.com/pTDun3GT
- leftnode 16y agoAlso, the X-Core-Value number changes with each request (appears random).

- amccloud 16y agoI just had a phone interview with Zappos. I mentioned this. Thanks.
- afhof 16y agoNormally I would only look at the headers if there was a problem with the request.
