Tell HN: t.co is adding a five-second delay to some domains

>>xslowz+(OP)
Additional details I wrangled for this rabbit hole. I don't think it's t.co doing this intentionally, but rather poor handling of 'do you have our cookies or not'. Everyone in this thread _proving things_ without taking into account the complexity of the modern web.

   man curl
       -b, --cookie <data|filename>
              (HTTP) Pass the data to the HTTP server in the Cookie header. It is supposedly the data previously received from the server in a "Set-Cookie:" line.

Add that option to your curl tests.
