Bad Behavior v2.0.38 - Upgrade to the bundled version included with glFusion. This upgrade should be applied to glFusion v1.2.0 and addresses the following issues: 1) In rare configurations, the Firefox and Safari web browsers may send the nonexistent “Proxy-Connection” HTTP header. 2) A workaround for a problem with PHP on IIS servers has been implemented. This issue caused various parts of Bad Behavior’s functionality to fail on IIS. 3) A web crawler used by Facebook was inadvertently blocked because it engages in some unusual behavior. This could cause links to protected pages to appear on Facebook without their title, photo or description. This issue with Facebook’s crawler has been worked around.
Bad Behavior complements other link spam solutions by acting as a gatekeeper, preventing spammers from ever delivering their junk, and in many cases, from ever reading your site in the first place. This keeps your site’s load down, makes your site logs cleaner, and can help prevent denial of service conditions caused by spammers. |
