I think this is an important feature.

One issue: if Frontier is running behind IIS, WebSTAR, or similar, then the hits may be coming in through COM or Apple events.

I'm not sure what the right thing to do is -- if the server is still being initialized, and a COM or Apple event message is received, perhaps a simple page stating that Frontier is starting up should be returned. The user could be asked to try the request again.

The IIS-Frontier DLL could perhaps be made smart enough to watch for this page, and re-try the COM call after a short delay.

There are responses to this message:
