I redirected the index.html page to a JSP page that saves the headers
to a file and then issues a redirect to index.htm (a copy of
index.html), preventing a redirect deadlock.
MSNBot visited today and the header accept type info is what I
reported in another recent thread (MSNBOT causes 406 error),
text/html, text/plain, application/*
Don't know why msnbot and IIS can't play nice with html files. If
anyone has any ideas, let me know.
