"Visitors" is a 1985 song recorded by Italian group Koto. Composed by Maiola and produced by Cundari, it is considered one of the best songs in the Italo disco canon.

gollark: UDP is just for sending small packets.
gollark: Nope. It runs over TCP.
gollark: Better than what? For what?
gollark: I don't see why you would want to stuff your entire request body in headers when there's a perfectly good request body system.
gollark: Primarily that some things won't be happy with it because nobody does it. Other than that:- servers may allocate limited-sized buffers for incoming request headers so you can't put too much in them (this is somewhat problematic for cookies)- headers have character set limits while bodies can be arbitrary bytes- request bodies are generated by forms and all sane clients so stuff is mostly designed to deal with those- request bodies can probably be handled more performantly because of stuff like the length field on them
