Hi brauner
Thank your for your reply.
I just thought of a situation that user access a link failed due to some err=
or(like permission issue),maybe report some error to user, actually user don=
=E2=80=99t get anything,but atime still update.
Maybe your are right,after all,we still tried to visit.
Thanks
Best Regards=20
