If it's impossible to distinguish your competitors requests from a casual user, what has made you certain that it's your competitor that's doing the scraping? If it's something you've seen in the logs (for example) that's lead you to think this, tell us what it is -- that will influence the things you can use to trap the scrapes. -- Aidan Whitehall <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental Ltd +44 (0)1695 51775 Queen's Awards Winner 2003 <http://www.fairbanks.co.uk/go/awards> ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
