Hi

Checking out the hit stats for my 'preview' site (customers get to preview their site before it goes online) I found 'The Top 6 of 6 Browsers Sorted by Access Count' to be:

1) MSIE 6.0; Windows ME

2) Ask Jeeves/Teoma

3) MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90

4) W3C_Validator/1.305.2.12 libwww-perl/5.64

5) MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1

6) Netscape 5.0

What is number 2 all about? I think the site has been crawled by a robot - there's a 'file not found' for robots.txt, but how is 'ask' now a browser?

any ideas appreciated
thanks
Dave

That's a list of user agents that have made requests, not of just browsers. Ask Jeeves is a search engine (http://www.ask.com/).

Ah... I see. Thanks. The thing had me confused because it said browsers in the heading.

Thanks
