I suspect that web indexing robots are responsible. Google, altavista, lycos, etc etc Lookup documentation on 'robots.txt' Also, MSIE clients can flag a bookmark for 'offline' viewing, meaning that the pages (typically to a link-depth of 2..4) are dowloaded to dedicated local cache. Another side-effect of this 'offline' process is that MSIE will typically 'check for updates', which is to say, it will bombard your site with 'HEAD' requests (i think) or otherwise find some way of checking if the cached pages are up-to-date. As far as I know MSIE respects the suggestions from robots.txt HTH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
