[mythtv-users] visit from googlebot

[Jacob Steenhagen]

While it's true that an unprotected MythWeb can cause many problems, this
particular one can be mitigated with a little bit of conventional wisdom
regarding web applications. "Best practice" says that any action which
will cause some kind of permenant modification (such as deleting a
recording!) be done using a POST rather than a GET. Web bots do not follow
POSTs, therefore no matter how often googlebot visits, no recordings would
be lost.
