Usually the server will send a 302 response for the first URL, unless the documents are equivalent. E.g. http://www.abc.de/xyz.html and http://www.abc.de/xyz.html/sometrackingcode could be the same page, but there is no way to tell if these are really referring to the same document (if the MD5 signature matches, chances are that you have found a duplicate, but otherwise two different URLs can always refer to two different documents, and a robot should not make any assumptions how a URL is interpreted by the server). -- Klaus Johannes Rusch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.atmedia.net/KlausRusch/ -- This message was sent by the Internet robots and spiders discussion list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
