> I would kill anybody who tried that on a server of me :) Why? This is no different then any other HTTP request. It's only an issue if they didn't cache the result. To me, this is the same as someone doing <img src="my server">. If they hit me too many times, I stop them.

If I parse the result, I can very easily ignore any redirects. And why would you (this is your server remember) perform a redirect to file://etc?? Even if you did, for example, return a metatag that did a redirect, it would be on my server and be my choice to follow the redirect - but since it's my server, it wouldn't hurt anyone. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
