Server log question

I understand GET but what is HEAD?

[dplaymax]

HEAD just gets the header - not the file :)

So could that be a hitbot? Got 7552 heads basically called every link and image on my site till I caught it. RB2 shows 7552 nulls. Of course all my trades went to shit again.

Maybe its supposed to but it was calling links.

irdean - give me an icq - i'll get you some answers :)

it could be a hitbot - or a web sucker trying to mirror a page

basically when you view a site in a web browser it sends: GET / path/to/whateverHTTP/1.0 or whatever, and that sends a header describing the responseand the file data if appropriate

If you do HEAD instead of GET, it just sends the header.
