[NBP web-reskin] Regarding Swish indexer

[Didomenico, Steven]

Wow. That's beautiful!

"No" we are not using AJAX and "yes" it's all being done on the
server-side.

It looks like we are okay.

Thanks Ethan

If you're reading it from a file using the [file] or [include] tag,
that's a non-issue.

If you're looking at reading it in client-side via Ajax trickery, that's
another matter, but I'm guessing that's not what you mean.

It walks the site like an actual browser would, so it's seeing the
rendered content.  As long as your solution is a purely server-side
operation, without needing intelligence beyond standard HTTP on the
client side, you're fine.

Thanks.
