Thanks for the reply, pryrt.

No. I'm not at all opposed to alternate approaches. In fact, in my frustration, I seriously considered simply using some form of CAPTCHA. But in the end decided not to, as the files should appear to be available, when search engines crawl the tree, and CAPTCHA won't really reveal the files (their names/locations). While the (original) method would. The fact that the links(s) are temporary, is unknown to them. :)

I think, because all my previous attempts end up running the sleep timer in the browser, and thereby make it appear to the (end) user, that the browser is still retrieving data from the site. That I should probably break out the timer, and unlink functions out into a separate file/module, and parametrize the timestamp generated initially, and pass it to the second script (timer/unlinker). I'll need to give this some more thought. :)

Thanks again, pryrt, for taking the time to respond.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
