Re: Single-hit visitor generates 304 Status Code

Hi,

We use a spider to grab web pages to index in our search engine, to avoid to
get pages everytime we use HEAD, if the page is not modified since the last
visit no need to get ... it is very interesting to limit the traffic over
the Net (for us and for the host).... but you could change this behavior by
changing your web server configuration ....
