The server could simply create a cookie in the file system - say, a file in /tmp with a randomly-generated name - and it can announce that to the client. If the client sees the same file in what it sees as /tmp, then it can assume that it's running on the server. Obviously there's a miniscule probability of an accidental collision, and someone could deliberately fool it, but for a simple check, that might work. ChrisA
