If you have the ability to "delete" or "cancel" something sensitive without all of those protections you are just asking for it to be deleted or canceled.[/snip] Doesn't matter if it's password protected or not because Google Web Accelerator is software you install in your browser so it's seeing whatever you are seeing (even if it's password protected). This is what the first link says you should do to protect your site: "If you have a web app, it might be worth returning a 403 when the HTTP_X_MOZ is set to "prefetch" header is sent. This will keep Web Accelerator from clicking destructive links." Sal D'Anna On 5/11/05, Donovan Brooke
