When I do it from lynx I get: csluk.ethernet - - [17/Nov/1998:17:24:30 +0000] "GET http://windowsupdate.micros oft.com/ HTTP/1.0" 200 13434 But from my PC I get: sam.ethernet - - [17/Nov/1998:17:25:51 +0000] "GET http://windowsupdate.microsof t.com/ HTTP/1.0" 304 - It seems as if MS server is being clever about where the request comes from. The next 2 lines in the access logs are: sam.ethernet - - [17/Nov/1998:17:25:52 +0000] "POST http://activex.microsoft.com /objects/ocget.dll HTTP/1.0" 404 0 sam.ethernet - - [17/Nov/1998:17:25:53 +0000] "POST http://activex.microsoft.com /objects/ocget.dll HTTP/1.0" 404 0 Which as far as I can tell is my PC snitching to microsoft about what I have installed. No more lines appear in the access log and no errors appear in the error log. The strange thing is, despite the 304 redirect the fragment of page available by "view source" from explorer is very similar to the "\" source in Lynx. Explorer works fine if it bypasses apache. Perhaps it is an explorer only problem? I'll be glad to hand over any more info... Sam
