I listened to twit.tv/floss448 today, about the Hiawatha web server. The author mentioned having simple built-in options for deprioritizing or blocking misbehaving clients. I don't know if it would have helped against a looping spider, but from that general description it sounds like it.
I don't know what the site needs beyond that, just wanted to mention it as it was such a coincidence. -- /c On Sep 6, 2017 16:09, "Ken Fallon" <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2017-09-04 23:29, Mike Ray wrote: > > Hello > > > > It took me over an hour to download last night's community news. > > > > I know the community news is usually a long one but the download time is > > longer than it should be, and has been for several weeks. > > > > I guess insomnia means I may be alone in pressing the download button > > when the clock ticks past 01:00 daylight saving time here in the UK so > > others may not have noticed. > > > > I am guessing somebody is grabbing the whole lot each night. > > > > Mike > > > > Hi All, > > We (ok Josh who is the real hero) found out what is going on.
