Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Robot detection disappeared?

The tools are probably less useful than they used to be - search engines have gotten smarter (someone started reading the HTTP specs).

Google, for example, will generate and index GET requests with parameters if need be - consider the query http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ask+philip+java, which returns a number of GET forms. Which is reasonable, since GET requests are supposed to return consistently.
