This part of the article really threw me off. Someone writing an article on HTTP headers for a major CDN has never had to deal with IE6?

- barneygale 8y agoAre people really still dealing with IE6? I gave up web dev almost a decade ago and it's disturbing to hear that IE6 is still an issue!
- shakna 8y agoEnterprise. A lot of Enterprise applications are required for work, and require very old, very stubborn browsers. Most emulations don't work. You need the old stuff (IE), for the old applications to work, and as long as they can force it to, they won't update said old application. I've even had to touch systems which required IE 4 in the last few years, from before Trident became the rendering engine.

Until you've had to support code distributed by the US federal gov't and watch the percentages of users hitting your site from XP (or earlier) UAs rise to the double digits, you have not known sadness.
