Re: Manuals and Spiders

You all keep forgetting one thing... the *mirrors* doesn't need to redirect people! If someone got to a mirror, it happened in one exact way: 1. He either used a search engine and got there [bad! that's why i suggest mirrors will completely block spiders!] 2. The main website pointed him there... Why would we, at all, need redirection code at the mirrors? :) On Wed, 23 Apr 2003, Gabor Hojtsy wrote: > > Thanks for your input alex. What abt cdb files. Is it different for > > every platform?
