But since redirects [like the original page in question] are normally
set to NOCACHE, it's a bit difficult to catch them and check to see what
generator was used to write them. However, there is a chance that the
new page was written by the same person & the same generator was used --
so we could keep stats in that manner.
One problem is that Linux and DOS handle the double dot [ .. for one
level up in directory structure] differently. DOS requires that there
be NO space " cd.. " whereas Linux requires that there *MUST BE* a space
used in "cd .." for it to work. That alone is reason enough to always
use complete URLs when coding one's pages. About the only time I don't
use a 'full address' in my page code is for graphics -- and that is
because the few graphics I use are kept in the directory where the page
that uses them resides. And I *never* link to graphics that aren't on
my own server in my own shell site. <G> That's a guaranteed good way to
make enemies.
