I emailed a courteous complaint to the site owner, who explained that it was created by a contractor, out of his control. so I scan returned resources for the home page eyecatcher and treat that as an error. I apologized for fetching a couple dozen pages daily, with concurrent requests. He said that's OK; he tolerates far worse abusers. His httpd ls less forgiving: I must issue my requests 0.3 seconds apart (empirical) or I get errors. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
