What do you mean about having a site not download? -----Original Message----- From: Tom Petch [mailto:nwnetworks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 1:04 PM To: Mark Smith Cc: parry@xxxxxxxxx; franck@xxxxxxxxx; ietf@xxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Fwd: [isdf] need help from the ietf list...can someone postthis for me? or allow me to post directly?] Banks do make it extraordinarily easy for their sites to be spoofed by allowing all their html, .gif etc to appear in my Temporary Internet Folder without even me having to lift a finger. You can make web sites which don't download - time for banks to learn about this.
