Defend yourself before it's too late.
I did a bit of self-defence programming today. Now NetJet users to my
site are caching a short canned message to tell them to disable it when
browsing my site. Hopefully, enough of them will read that before handing
over the registration fee.
Anyone know what User-Agent "blaze" uses ? I've asked them, but don't expect
a (quick) answer.
To the guy asking for advice on his 'snarf' proxy cache preloader -
please don't unleash this on sites without first asking for permission
to do so.
