<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After joining a UO server today, I notices the
custom weapons mod downloaded from a website at over 100k per sec instead of the
usual 5k. That lanunched me into a lenghty investigation into how they did
this. I finally discovered that COD:UO has an "undocumented" HTTP Redirect
feature:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"is this true is HTTP Redirection in UO?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, i guess since the game ships today, i could
probably tell you. </DIV>

1/0 (disconnects player from your server while downloading) </DIV>
<DIV>Also a little bonus from ****** (i think it was him) </DIV>
<DIV>By using "_svr_" somewhere in the pak file name, you can flag a pak file as
server-only and it will not be downloaded. </DIV>
