Microsoft joining the ranks of referrer spammers?
- Encosia 18y agoI have to agree with monk.e.boy's assessment that they're probably just checking for cloaking. That's not exactly an exotic technique.
- jrockway 18y agoOf course, anyone can set their reverse DNS to anything, and anyone can set their User-Agent string to anything... so I am not sure what, if anything, this says about Microsoft. Did he check that the IP -> DNS -> IP "round tripped"?
