Although these methods sounds cool (and we use them too, as I wrote) they still waste the bandwidth (on sending 403-responses). And bandwidth is rather expensive with high-quality hosting providers (that's why I asked for a better method to deal with this issue). If current (often outdated) standards do not allow us to solve everyday issues, then they must be changed (not adored or worshipped). ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
