If I have a link to a URL on another server, can I log when a user
clicks this link? (sort of like HTTP_REFERRER, but the inverse)
Example:
My site is www.A.com and I have a link to www.B.com along with
www.C.com, www.D.com, etc... I want to know if a user clicks on any of
these links.
Is this possible?
Thanks greatly,
Chuck

If the link points directly to www.B.com then www.A.com doesn't get
any http request when the user clicks, so there's nothing to log.

Get something like 'lnkinlte' or similar from http://www.cgi-resources.com/
no... I don't get money for you going there...

1. Stronghold, Apache mod_ssl, Apache-SSL - what's the difference?
I'm getting a bit confused ...
What is Stronghold, and how is it different from other methods of doing SSL
with Apache? Also how are Apache-SSL and Apache-mod_ssl different (if at
all)?
