- randomdrake 13y agoThere's nothing preventing anyone from jamming extra headers onto some guy's poor cellular connection. There's also nothing preventing competent developers from making sure this header isn't implemented in a way that it would affect endusers poorly. Maybe it's only on a single page? Maybe just some developer documentation? Maybe an API endpoint? No one is saying how this should be implemented, or even if it is the best idea. It's just a PoC and an idea to share amongst developers.
- michaelmcmillan 13y agoTo be honest, I don't understand your reply. I was merely making a suggestion to avoid using headers for unnecessary data. "No one is saying how this should be implemented, [...]". The project is called "human-headers". I don't see the need to point out what the goal of the proposition is.
