On: HTTP headers we don't want

[manigandham]

Fastly is a CDN that charges by requests + bandwidth, so it absolutely makes money from extra headers on responses no matter how small.

I don’t know how they bill. If it is just the Content-Length then they eat the cost of the header.

Also, I can’t see any other reason they’d care. Who does the header harm?

You seem to be taking this way too critically. It's a simple article that's looking at the typical headers in responses and showing which ones probably are outdated or unnecessary. If you have 10 hits per day, it doesn't matter. For others that send billions of requests, it might just make a material difference.
