Hello GIJoe,
Posted a
thread on the main Xoops site regarding Google Web Accelerator.
Outside of the hack provided by Ackbarr, could you enlighten us on how the Protector module handles these prefetch requests, and if anything needs to be done to prevent automated clicks from corrupting a Xoops site? Can I block an entire range using Protector (e.g. by entering 72.14.192.
0-255)?
Thanks,
Eric
hi spiff.
I've researched about GWA.
And I believe that it is necessary for XOOPS sites to protect from GWA.

If you know the IP range, the easiest way is using .htaccess. then set deny.
Yes, it's probably more efficient to do it on the Apache/firewall side than on the PHP side.
