This is a question better suited to the MythTV list, but in short the answer is yes. A search engine robot will normally try to follow all links available on a page for indexing. This means it would try to follow the delete link on your page. > If that is the case what can I do to prevent this happening in the > future - I've now included a robots.txt - is that enough. Short answer, secure that portion of the web server in some way. You could add a need for basic authentication before viewing the page or even restrict the range of IPs that are allowed to view the page. -- Jamin W.
