Saw this, while browsing on a large business website. I thought this
might be software plagliarism worthy of a lawyers scrutiny. :hammer:


or maybe all the cool stuff has expired patents by now.

I just ran into that on Slashdot. Guess someone's HTTP server framework was designed by someone with fond memories of the Amiga...

It's varnish cache: https://www.varnish-cache.org/

The code producing the Guru Mediation message: https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/browser/bin/varnishd/default.vcl

I wonder if anyone working on it today even knows where that "Guru mediation" comes from.

The varnish link explains why a busy website would make use of their system
to monitor visitors and their purchasing trends, and keep the site most easily
accessible to customers. Cool stuff, when not meditating :)
