Unfortunately, the "client" will not give up. The result will be that our (very expensive) bandwidth will be wasted on sending 403 responses (that's about 300 bytes per request). Imagine a bot requesting a page twice per second. And then imagine thousands of such bots, which ignore your 403 responses, using different IP addresses. Worms, DDoS bots, etc. Something must be done. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.
