Re: [Wikitech-l] [Engineering] RFC: Introducing two new HTTP headers to track mobile pageviews

2013-02-03 Thread Asher Feldman
If you want to differentiate categories of API requests in logs, add descriptive noop query params to the requests. I.e mfmode=2. Doing this in request headers and altering edge config is unnecessary and a bad design pattern. On the analytics side, if parsing query params seems challenging vs.

Regarding varnish cacheability of mobile API requests with a logging query param - it would probably be worth making frontend varnishes strip out all occurrences of that query param and its value from their backend requests so they're all the same to the caching instances. A generic param name

Considering that the query component of a URI is meant to identify the resource whereas HTTP headers are meant to tell the server additional information about the request, I think a header approach is much more appropriate than a no-op query parameter. If the X- is removed, I'd have no problem

That's not at all true in the real world. Look at the actual requests for google analytics on a high percentage of sites, etc. Setting new request headers for mobile that map to new inflexible fields in the log stream that must be set on all non mobile requests (\t-\t-) equals gigabytes of

Remind me again why a production setup is logging every header of every request? Also, if you are logging every header, then the amount of data added by a single extra header would be insignificant compared to the rest of the request. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of
