So do OT/Classic developers or experts usually watch this list, or is there some other way of contacting them?

You may not be alone :-} I am intercepting TCP traffic through my KEXT, after the result comes back from the daemon and I want to block the traffic, What is the best error to throw that will let internet explorer in classic not try the URL again. It works for Safari and IE(non classic version) if I use ENETDOWN, EACCES, and they don't try it again. But when I am using those errors for Classic's IE it blocks but keeps trying the URL over and over again. There could be many reasons for this behavior, and you'll need an OT expert to unravel them... - Classic, and OT in particular, was not built with Unix-style errno codes in mind. The deeper recesses of OT do use the same error code names, though, but they use a different version of the header <sys/errno.h>. In particular, it's possible that EACCES (on Mac OS X) and EAGAIN (on Classic/OT/Mentat) (for example) share the same numeric code. That would be a bummer, of course. An OT expert will have to share his understanding of this one. - The Classic version of IE doesn't know what to do with EACCES. Again, an OT expert may have the answer. - The error code returned by your NKE gets lost somewhere between your NKE and IE; if it doesn't get lost, it gets translated; see the previous two comments. I think you get the drift. It's not a problem that can easily be solved, since the two systems (Mac OS X and Classic/OT) were never intended to merge smoothly together. Hope that helps clarify things (and, perhaps, prompts someone with Knowledge to pipe up). Cheers, Justin -- Justin C.
