Ok. how am I going to do that (rhetorical question)? My Web Server is the
module distributed with every recent MacOS system (i.e., all those millions
of iMac's and iBooks). It's a Control Panel (TSR in DOS-speak) called
"Web Sharing". As far as I know, it has no mechanism for preventing
certain domains from accessing a local web page. Of course, I could
put up a link that says "click here if you aren't a terrorist", but
I rather doubt that this will satisfy the regulations.
