Now that I’ve finally got all of my websites deployed I find
interesting Exception_Notification messages being generated when the
‘spiders’ ask for illegal requests on my website. For example:
I have a nested data structure whereas forums belongs to forcats. So a
request through my application is http:\www.websitename.com\forcats
\1\forums\6.
The search engines are throwing requests at me like:
http:\www.websitename.com\forums\6.
My traditional SHOW action looks like this;
def show
@forum = @forcat.forums.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html
end
end
Do you have any idea how I can protect against this?
I am grateful for your reply.
