The GNU Terry Pratchett plugin transmits an \"X-Clacks-Overhead\" header reading, \u201cGNU Terry Pratchett\u201d so that Terry\u2019s name is whispered forevermore in the Internet\u2019s \u201coverhead\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
In Pratchett\u2019s \u201cGoing Postal\u201d, workers who die in the line of duty have their names transmitted up and down the Discworld\u2019s telegraph system as a tribute.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin makes it easy for WordPress users to do the same for Terry Pratchett, without having to modify their server configuration.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin adds the GNU Terry Pratchett header in two ways:<\/p>\n\n
The text sent in HTTP headers and meta tags is \u201cGNU Terry Pratchett\u201d by default.<\/p>\n\n
Change this by visiting Settings \u2192 GNU Terry Pratchett in your WordPress admin area and editing the \u201cX-Clacks-Overhead header\u201d field.<\/p>\n\n
This option lets you honor other people you would like to remember by making them a small part of your site\u2019s content forever.<\/p>\n\n
There are several ways to check that the HTTP header is appearing for your site:<\/p>\n\n
curl -I example.com<\/code>)<\/li>\n- With Chrome\u2019s Network tab.<\/li>\n
- With the Clacks Overhead<\/a> Chrome plugin or the GNU Terry Pratchett Firefox extension<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Using the Server Header Checker<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Note that the HTTP header is not sent if you use a page caching plugin. To send the HTTP header and continue to use a caching plugin, add the header at the server level. See http:\/\/www.gnuterrypratchett.com\/ for options.<\/p>\n\n
Checking the meta tag is added<\/h4>\n\n
You can check that the meta tag is visible by viewing your site's HTML source and searching for \u201cGNU Terry Pratchett\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
The Clacks Overhead plugin<\/a> for Chrome and the GNU Terry Pratchett extension<\/a> for Firefox both light up when they detect the HTML meta tag or HTTP header.<\/p>\n\nCredits and contributions<\/h4>\n\n
