Hoodia is an ingredient which many diet pill companies claim will cause weight loss. I was searching the net for information .gov sites had about hoodia and came across this.
How did a .gov site end up with a "buy-hoodia" type spam site attached to it ?
gpo.gov belongs to the U.S. Government Printing Office
purl.access.gpo.gov belongs to the U.S. Government Printing Office's PURL Information Page
What is a "PURL" ?, from the PURL FAQ :
1.1 What does PURL stand for?
PURL stands for "Persistent Uniform Resource Locator."
1.2 What is a PURL?
Functionally, a PURL is a URL.
Instead of pointing directly to the location of an Internet resource, a PURL points to an intermediate resolution service. The resolution service associates the PURL with the actual URL and returns that URL to the client, which can then complete the transaction in the normal fashion.
Any ideas ?
