But most HTTP servers out there have a default document feature, which will search for and respond with a specific document specified by the administrator (Apache uses index.html by default; IIS, default.htm) when no filename is given. In such cases, the server does not divulge the filename. dZ. -- DZ-Jay [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
