I think there is no way to do what you want. Server sends the source (usu=
ally
an HTML document) to the client across a TCP connection. Someone who can =
get
the document can save it as source.
Even if client don=B4t allow you to save the source, you can get it direc=
tly with
telnet connection to server, for example.
Sorry.
Dani.
