@foosel that's the genuine "fix" for a reported security problem against some of their devices at the time, yes indeed

So I assume that Curl can now present different User-Agent values as needed (assuming it didn't before, of course)?

Which given I very rarely use Curl is probably a very stupid question but give I could think of that as a potential issue/solution shows how monumentally ridiculous that bug fix really is ๐Ÿซค๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@simonzerafa @bagder @foosel It can indeed, there's a specific arg or you can use the generic `-H "header-name: header-value"` form.
Those have been a thing as long as I've been using curl ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป.

Even good old wget does it. I've used -U MSIE more times than I can remember. It also has a --header option.

@foosel @bagder I can well believe it, from the company that once broke their website by somehow removing every lowercase "t" from their HTML... Though that was about a decade earlier!

@nullcolaship @foosel @bagder "Skip o Conen" sounds like an Irish talk show host.

cd ~

@root42 @nullcolaship @foosel @bagder Interesting that it still renders as a website of sorts with all letters 't' removed. I wonder which letters are the most redundant ones in this metric.

@cd_home @root42 @nullcolaship @foosel @bagder It is pretty funny - it's just that most of the HTML tags for content (h1-6, a, p, div) don't have the letter t, while a lot of stuff in the head (title, script, style) do.

Surely any tables on the page are ruined, though.

cd ~

@root42 @nullcolaship @foosel @bagder "Skip o search" is the process of quickly finding the non-sponsored, un-SEOed and not generated pages in the search results. Will soon be taught in schools.

@cd_home @root42 @nullcolaship @foosel @bagder Skip o Search would be a great name for a search engine

@nullcolaship @foosel @bagder I looked at the source code image before reading your command and I thought I had a stroke ๐Ÿ˜…

@nullcolaship @foosel @bagder Just think of all those tabs theyโ€™d have been able to remove if theyโ€™d escaped their regex properly.

@nullcolaship @foosel @bagder When Cisco announced public access to the simplified web presentation language they used internally, โ€œHMLโ€, they failed to describe exactly *how* they simplified it, but one look at their website revealed all.
