But what prevents the "evil" applications to set same user agent as good ones? Not a good idea. This would break many things, for example the slippy map preview in JOSM, without managing to do what is intended (stop bulk downloaders - as if one downloader does not work, user will just pick another that will - or wait for update to existing one) Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
