As a user, you're a silly goose.
There are thousands of reasons things would return a 204. Blocking that is just being obtuse.
There are lots of requests that return a 200 with no body as well. Do you block all AJAX requests? The user doesn't see those happening, but it's not abuse.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 5y agoI am using a text-only browser with no Javascript engine. I also make HTTP requests with non-browser clients. Without Javascript, most if not all of those "thousands of reasons" do not work and in a text-only environment they accomplish nothing for me. I do not block all AJAX-triggered HTTP requests. For the ones I might need to make in order to retrieve content, I make them without using Javasscript, outside the browser. Being called names without repercussion always proves that HN policies do not apply to everyone. It also indicates there is no cogent counter argument to make. More name-calling please. :)
- donatj 5y agolol I called you a silly goose because it rhymed. Note the end of the three stanzas. Genuinely no insult intended.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 5y agoNone taken. I missed the poetic though. Nice work. :) If HN commenters want to protest over when and how one user uses her own computers and her own network, I welcome the entertainment. I'm bored today so foolishly responding to every comment, no matter how stupid.
