>>My only thought on that is to detect the fact that they are a spider (not sure how to do that though) and not implement security in that case.
Oups, not a good idea. There are mainly two sorts of spiders: good bots (ie:google) and bad bots (ie: those looking for mail addresses to spam) In neither case they should be reading your pages. Good bots, because there is no need to index secured pages, and bad bots should be banned from any page anyway. So just let the login page do its work : good bots will never try to submit the login form, bad bots may try,but with no password they'll be kicked out anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313822 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
