I assume he means html5 websockets, although I don't know why you'd use them for the purpose described. Renato - why don't you control based on _results_ instead of how many pages the worker is loading (or some other such gameable measure). You could quite easily track what a person is doing just by including <img src="/somescript.php"> at the end of the page and in that script log the referrer etc. AD -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
