Re: [cobalt-users] IP vs Name Based Hosting



OK, I appreciate all the info regarding access to name based sites before
domain propogation, but my 'main concern' seems to have been missed so far.

Last I knew, the major search engines use HTTP/1.0 spiders.  If you connect
to port 80 of any name based site and do the standard GET / HTTP/1.0, you
receive the content of the first site within the listing of name based
hosts.  This is exactly what the above mentioned spiders will see, not the
intended content of the name based site.

I'm doing my own research now, but I'd like to hear any and all comments on
the topic.

Thanks,

Brian Curtis
