- camus2 13y agoI guess it's just checking for some header,like express has a special header... by the way, framework authors, please refrain from doing stuffs like that. The framework i use is nobody's business but mine.
- mihok 13y agoExactly the same sentiment, making me put in extra effort to hide underlying technology seems ridiculous to me.
- scorcher 13y agoYeh, just looks at the header; node activity detected Found x-powered-by: Express header in response
- skyebook 13y ago+1, its the most horrible form of advertising. And also, yes.. it checks headers (just threw up an Express project and got this: http://i.imgur.com/xpyfv0C.png http://i.imgur.com/xpyfv0C.png)
- mattgreenrocks 13y agoIt's also dangerous and irresponsible from a security standpoint. Not advocating security by obscurity, but advertising it doesn't help.
- wlaurance 13y agoI'm not sure what they are using to serve up their site, other than nginx. But they do have this header, "X-Hi-Human: The AIRBNB SRE team added this header. Come work with us! Email dave+header@airbnb.com"
