I think this is a great example of the kind of implicit expectations that always pervade these discussions. I had a similar interview in my last job search, and for me it stood out negatively. At the time I’d never parsed any part of an HTTP response in my professional career, so I made some mistakes that look kinda silly if you know what you’re doing, and it was clear that the interviewer didn’t believe me when I explained that this isn’t a problem that comes up often in my field. I don’t want it to sound like I’m complaining, it’s not a big deal, but the interviews a web developer sees as neat and low-prep are exactly the ones I need to prepare extra for.
