I noticed that some bot had scanned a bunch of the pages on my webserver. The user-agent was conspicuous, since it went by the name "Indy Library". I did some research and found that this is the user-agent specified in some Delphi and C++ Builder libraries. Well, those libraries have been used to create an email harvester bot [here]. That's too bad, since I, and many other webmasters, will be blocking access to any bot that uses "Indy Library" as its user-agent name. This is likely to break code written for ligitimate purposes if those same Delphi or C++ libraries are used. 5:58:43 PM ![]() |
As soon as I can afford it, I'm gonna stick a WiFi hub at my house. Damned unemployment. |
