Rich,

Wow, I see tons of requests for getlatest.glh, upgrade.fcgi and others.

But what is the difference between sending the browsers (embedded or
otherwise) a redirect as opposed to simply returning the registration
page? Does the redirect cause a bigger performance hit on the server?

Thanks for the info.
