Re: SOP for WebDNA talk - MSNBot Crashing
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004

texte = Scott, This looks like what I experienced last week. I tracked the cart problems down to MSNBot which was flooding the shopping cart folder with carts. Many of the carts had file names that where hundreds of characters long. That was partly due to the way I handle cart naming for repeat customers. MSNBot is beta. I think it is flawed. MSN insists that it's just sophisticated. And perhaps it is WebDNA that is flawed. There may be some truth to that. Large volumes of carts or long file names for carts should not cause Webcatalog to crash, but it does... And with great frequency and predictability. So Scott, if there is anything that you can do to stop this crashing behavior displayed when MSNBot floods our servers it would be greatly appreciated. Crashes occur on 4.5.1, 5.0.1 and 6 Thanks, Paul On 5/13/04 12:16 PM, "eduardo@advancedemedia.com"
