This is true, but only for HTTP 1.1. I believe that HTTP 1.0 does not send this header with each request. However, those browsers which user HTTP 1.0 are IE 4.x and older versions of Netscape and Opera. The only downfall of "virtual hosting". What I have done in the past is to create an IIS web site for all requests made to the virtual host IP (the IP address to which all of the virtual hosts point to), which will check their browser and HTTP versions, and notify them to upgrade if they were not up to the HTTP 1.1 specification. -- Scott Van Vliet Sempra Energy 555 W. 5th St., 21st Floor Los Angeles, CA 90013 Tel > 213.244.5205 Email > [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Hello Stupid, and welcome to your crappy computer." - Strong Bad, HomestarRunner.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark A.
