This is shorthand pseudocode referring to a story that she has previously written up: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2016/02/21/malloc/ https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2016/02/21/malloc/ . I suppose one could write `malloc(__builtin_bswap32(*(uint32_t*)"HTTP"))` instead but that seems overly verbose for an aside that's not meant to be compiled.
