Alternatively, more and more sysadmins have added custom headers to their web servers:<p>curl -I pilgrimbreak.com<p><pre><code> HTTP&#x2F;1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx&#x2F;1.6.2 Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:39:36 GMT Content-Type: text&#x2F;html Content-Length: 184 Connection: keep-alive Location: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pilgrimbreak.com&#x2F; X-Charlie: I am Charlie</code></pre>

I was ready to heavily criticize but it is just the comment section where AFNIC displays its information. So it is not some endorsement of the term added to each whois record, but the endorsement of AFNIC showing in their legal banner.

Not bad but its a little easy.<p>I am still disappointed so many media are voiding to publish the original, drawings.<p>After all, we are ready to send war planes, military consultant, surrender some of our privacy etc. to either fight or protect ourselves against groups alike the people who did this. Yet, we won&#x27;t do the thing that seem to have hurt them enough that they perpetrated very specific and targeted killings of the people doing it.
