You need the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] array elements or their equivalents to use this mini hack. The first step of the hack prevents SIDs in new requests. The second step forces a redirect in order to strip the SIDs from links in the bot memory. There is no need to apply this hack for bots that have google or slurp@inktomi or yahoo! slurp as part of their user agent. Like I said, it is a quick and dirty hack, but it does what I need it to do. If you use this mod, a click of the install button is appreciated.

Nice hack Thank you for sharing it with us!
