What the… forget it. Just go here or any other response header viewer. Of course web servers have to comply with HTTP standards. How could they be web servers without complying to HTTP?

And just FYI, the HTTP protocol has nothing to do with GNU.

HTTP headers doesn’t mean much, but they are either a NIX *(includes OS2,Mac etc) or IIS based, and pretty much the web servers comply to W3C GNU codes.

No they don’t, they use Apache on a Gentoo host. Check their response headers

It should say
BaseEngine /
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?topix\.net [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.topix.com/1 [R=301,L]

putting just a ^www without \. will kill the server and btw, they use IIS!
geez rite?
