Google April Fool 2009 Joke

I was browsing Google website few hours back and found out that Google’s HTTP server header has changed. And this surprise me, it was changed to “Conficker“. But as of now you are ready this blog post, the HTTP server header has changed to “gws”. If you are using Firefox, you can download the Server Spy extension to view any web server’s brand (e.g. Apache, IIS, lighttpd, Litespeed, etc.) So, did you ever noticed it or just me?

    Yup, I noticed it. It’s already in the Wikipedia article:

    Just before midnight GMT-4 I noted the server as “Skynet”…
