Thanks for this list of steps, Terry.
in order to circumvent problems with caching when doing that test with getnettext it
is an option to add a prameter to the url like
anUrl = "http://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/logConnexAttempts.pl"
netID = getNetText( anURl & "?dummy=" & the milliseconds)
This would force the browser to really reload the url on each attempt.
