My site uses a scheme whereby a session variable (say, $logged_in) is 
checked for.  If the variable is not set to 1, then header("Location: 
./index.php") is used to redirect the browser to index.php, where they 
are offered an opportunity to log in (setting the session variable 
$logged_in to 1).

But then I thought to myself, could this page still be accessed by a 
script or a spider, or some other agent besides a browser?  I don't know 
much about how HTTP works, but I am wondering if this is an adequate 
means of protecting my site from unlogged-in visitors.

TIA,

Erik
