Last week, Ruslan Abuzant, a web designer from Ukraine stumbled upon a server response page from Google that was not meant to be seen by any Google user. The error came up when he tried to access the cached version of a website from the search engine results pages. Google have rectified the error since then and acknowledged it is something that should not have happened. They refused to comment on the exact nature of the information revealed or shed light on any of the modules referred to in the server response page.
Google’s Server Response Page
The server response page displayed the lines of text pasted below. No one outside Google can be really sure what any of these terms mean, but one can speculate. Of special interest are the terms marked in bold text:
