Stupid web tricks




The basic idea was we could host a webpage or website at several locations, each having identical copies of the web page.   ww1.x  ww2 etc

This first page , which could even be coming from a referring web site will try to load several images off several web sites at once.

In order to prevent caching and also address the issue of being able to steer traffic loads some we can add a small delay before serving the image as well as adding additional HTTP tags to prevent cache and force it to load freshly each time.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#
#       print "HTTP/1.0 200 Okay\n";
        print "Expires: 0\n";
        print "Pragma: no-cache\n";
        print "Content-Type: image/gif\n\n";
        open (sendgif,"/cgi/race.img");
        print ();
        close sendgif;
        exit(0);
