\_ : Furthermore just getting the head doesn't tell you what else might be \_ : linked to it down the tree. \_ \_ Huh? Are you saying sizeof(Content-Length) != sizeof(website). That's \_ kind of restating the obvious, isn't it? I kind of presumed Wes would \_ understand the fragment had to be looped, called recursively, whatever; \_ and also called only if certain conditions he designed were met, like \_ your comment regaring CGI. My indirect point was that if you're just GETting HEAD, you won't get the links that are in the rest of the page...which is fine if you already know where the links go and they don't change the page.... You might try [ab]using google or one of the other caches, ask for their local cached version, which in some instances includes the headers, which include content-length. Well, that'd be text only. Hmmm. David From Damien Salazar" Message-ID: <003601c0378c$5df72140$c901010a@tracy> Justin, What that means is that as you burst and use varying amounts of bandwidth on that T1, UUNet will take what they call a "sample" of your in and out bound traffic about every 5 minutes and record the usage amount. At the end of the month they will knock out the top 5% of the usage recorded and bill you based upon the remaining 95%. What this does is keep you from getting billed for those occasional peaks that don't last very long but use more bandwidth. Burstable bandwidth is a good solution if you're not sure what your sustained usage will be or if your usage is very sporadic. The down side of a burstable T1 is that it will cost you more per MB. Feel free to call me with any more questions.
