RE: [PHP] Am I right or wrong?

It's wrong of them?!?! Not to sound irrational here, but you're DOWNLOADING the file every time, even if you are downloading it every time. Why are you opening it through HTTP? Why not directly via the FS? If you're local to the machine, that seems more intelligent. If you're not local to the machine then you're using not only CPU resource, but network resource, and even more so should be responsible. It is very difficult for an ISP to differentiate between what was an external request and what was you requesting something from yourself. Even if it was simple, I'm not sure they have any obligation or responsibility to do it.

Always look at the small print ;) And you're right... it's wrong of them... imho. -- Stig-Ørjan Smelror Systemutvikler Linux Communications AS Sandakerveien 48b Box 1801 - Vika N-0123 Oslo, Norway tel. +47 22 09 28 80 fax. +47 22 09 28 81 http://www.lincom.no/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
