gollark: HTTP is kind of inefficient though honestly. I mean, look at all that inefficient textual content.
gollark: Now osmarks.tk only sends these cool™️ headers:```httpserver: nginx/1.18.0date: Mon, 03 Aug 2020 19:40:01 GMTcontent-type: text/htmlcontent-length: 6790last-modified: Fri, 03 Jul 2020 21:29:58 GMTetag: "5effa356-1a86"strict-transport-security: max-age=63072000; preload; includeSubDomainsreferrer-policy: strict-origin-when-cross-originaccept-ranges: bytes```
gollark: However, it got lost in a server configuration reconfiguration or possibly some time when I decided to reduce overhead.
