Hi again Geoff. Thanks for the quick answer. I actually tried adding
return DECLINED if
$r->content_type ne "text/html";
at the top, which seems to stop the connection dead in its tracks (when
content_type ne 'text/html') and I get this:
Making HTTP connection to jim.sitepak.net.
Sending HTTP request.
HTTP request sent; waiting for response.
Alert!: Unexpected network read error; connection aborted.
I didn't think that looked right, but I wasn't exactly sure what returning
DECLINED did (in terms of the request process). Any ideas?
