|    Adult site blocking    |

      OK, so I had an experience with censorship - someone was trying to go to a       particular porn site, and it said "The governent has blocked this page" or       whatever. I'd like to know how this is pulled off - the router in the middle       didn't only block the HTTP        request, but also - *answered* it, saying that the site was blocked!! I       thought routers were low level TCP/IP beasts, how are they answering HTTP       requests? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Did it get the text "The       government" blah blah from a _server_        somewhere? How?                     Thanks.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
