Hello, Suppose an email harvester (evil) from wewillspamyou.com visits my site, domain.com Is there a way for Apache to detect the user and rewrite certain text that appears in the webpage that is served to that user? Here's the kicker: I'm looking to Apache to fulfill this need. I can't use php (or write some inline code in another language). Doing so would require modifying software that I install but don't maintain (say, pre-packaged blogging software), would require me to modify each software each time it's updated, AND may cause instability issues if I don't notice something particular to some software and cause me to screw up. Therefore, the only choice remaining is to ask someone who knows a little bit about Apache. =) ------------------ Here's some elaboration on the problem: For instance, if I detect a visitor from spammers.com, to the webpage delivered to that user, I want to modify (falsify) text that follows the "mailto:" string. Instead of: mailto: personalemail@xxxxxxxxxx I would much rather prefer to translate text to: mailto: bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I'm thinking: are there some plugins or instructions which permit apache while serving a page (right before released to user) to: 1. search for text that matches a regex pattern 2. then take actions (like say, invoke sed search and replace) on that text to replace with alternate text Just wondering what the best way to do this would be. I'm wondering if there's some directives that would apply for any page served by apache for my domain.com ------------------ I don't know if this can be done. At least, I don't know enough about Apache to make a call either way. But maybe there is a hope to get this solved some other way. This idea would certainly be a great way to do a little stenography kung fu on spammers. I'm sure bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wouldn't mind (of course you mind, Bill, that was a joke, please don't be mad). Though an easy solution: I wish to avoid using images to encode my email strings. I really hope to find some solution using the above mentioned teqniques. Thanks for your thoughts. -Krystian --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
