On: Test if a URL uses Node.js

I guess it's just checking for some header,like express has a special header... by the way, framework authors, please refrain from doing stuffs like that. The framework i use is nobody's business but mine.

It's also dangerous and irresponsible from a security standpoint. Not advocating security by obscurity, but advertising it doesn't help.

+1, its the most horrible form of advertising.

And also, yes.. it checks headers (just threw up an Express project and got this: http://i.imgur.com/xpyfv0C.png)

Exactly the same sentiment, making me put in extra effort to hide underlying technology seems ridiculous to me.
