Common techniques for overcoming this type of trouble: - Dissect the HTML, and figure out what exactly the site uses for detection, then deal with it as appropriate. - As someone already suggested, try to figure out a working URL after detection phase. - The Stick-And-Bucket-Dance. Hit them with sticks until you need mop and bucket. May not get you your records, but it's great for stress relief. - I'm told that in the USA, a viable response to "So sue me!" is to do as you're told. };-] Cheers, Nick -- x----------------------------------------------------------------------x | And AC said: "Let there be light!" | | And there was light... | | (Asimov, 1956) | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Nicolas Kratz <nick@ikarus.dyndns.org> <n_kratz@cs.uni-frankfurt.de> | x----------------------------------------------------------------------x
