Is there any way to remedy this?You should be able to edit your ErrorMessages.db file and replace the default response with something using [ReturnRaw] to give a 404.The only problem might be with newlines, which are required in the MIME headers, but might screw up your database. Using an [include] instead of coding directly into ErrorMessages.db should take care of that problem, I think.-Daveo--------------- Dave MacLeay --+ o----------- Digital Frontier --+ o--------------- 802.253.8612 --+ o--- dave@digitalfrontier.com --+ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
