You cannot disable the POST itself, but you could set the URL that the POST is sent to as 'dont-request = yes' in the OfflineOptions section. > And does it make > sense to save POSTs, when they ever get different ids and I can never > access them offline? They are very useful because they let you fill in a form on a web page when you are offline and post the results back. When you go online again you will be able to find the result in the index (e.g. lasttime index). Obviously for programs that are impatient and need to know the result *now* and will not read the indexes this won't work. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
