I can confirm the same redirection when connected via Netvision. The redirection happens after a few seconds, with a "meta http-equiv=refresh" tag. Does sourceforge let people run SSI or CGI as the content of their homepage?? The drip.sourceforge.net page (once you get rid of the automatic redirection) says that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is its webmaster - so you can try crying out to him, but you'll probably not manage to convince him. The people you should probably complain to (and I see that you already did) are Sourceforge, who might want to take that homepage down as they want to give home to software development, not political arguments. Also, if that software is GPLed, preventing Israelis from getting the source is a violation of the GPL. By the way, it appears that the boycott site (the one you got redirected into) itself is run by a German Muslim, and as much as you and I don't like it, there is apparently nothing illegal or even abusive about it, so I would recommend you don't try to complain about that site. Incidentally (and completely off-topic), if anybody can get me a can of ZamZam Cola (which is what that site recommends instead of Coca-Cola...), I'd be really happy :) Please Email me privately if you can get one. I found it really odd that Muslims would name a cola brand after a holy shrine... -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Jan 30 2003, 28 Shevat 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I am the world's greatest authority on my http://nadav.harel.org.il |own opinion. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
