Sorry I wasn't clear Aleksandro, he uses different programs to download 
entire sites so he can view them later. He has a physics degree and math 
degree, and has done some programming (HP Basic, DB stuff) but never 
learned HTML, CSS, or any scripting. So he is thinking about studying 
how sites are made and curious to know how secure then can be in every 
way. He's very thorough so if he decides to learn this stuff he'll do 
well, but he hasn't committed to that yet. He fires me off questions now 
and then and when I can't answer I come to knowledgeable forums like 
this one.
He uses different windows programs to download sites, and he just 
discovered curl and is learning how to use it.

Thanks,
mike
