Sentinel + redirect user agent

Involved Joined: Apr 06, 2008 Posts: 484

im just wondering if it is worth thinking about incorporating the perl user agent into sentinel for imediate banning or redirection?

e.g.

Code:




libwww-perl/5.810

are there any legitimate uses for perl that can effect nuke by doing this?

You mean it isn't already blocked by the Harvester blocker?

You might as well do it using .htaccess and they will never get through to Sentinel.

not by default i dont see why its not done on a core level.

you could use htaccess but would that need rewrite? as some people dont have it
