Man, I've got a great story about https://t.co/tzrkXk20lf. Around 2011 or so they changed from a very simple no-CSS page to the above page, and I wrote the IANA a (semi-joking) email about how I was scandalized that https://t.co/tzrkXk20lf no longer returned just ~300 bytes, but now returned a much longer response with CSS.
They wrote back a hilarious response about how technically IANA's direction from ICANN only requires that https://t.co/tzrkXk20lf be an example *domain*, with a real A record, and there is no requirement that they even reply to requests on port 80 or 443, so I should feel grateful they deign to send me any bytes at all.
Of all the foolhardy fronts opened up in the War on Prices in the UK, this ranks among the very silliest. This is an industry run on such razor-thin margins and terms that the land and real estate on supermarket balance sheets is often greater than the market value of the firms.
