Prompted me to do a little experimentation with google query parameters. Some potentially concerning stuff out there... This one seems offline, but a typical example: ftp://asapdata.arc.nasa.gov/incoming/BOB/HyspIRI/data-bob/00_README.MASTERweb_updating.txt 3. Login to MASTER database: http://asterdb.jpl.nasa.gov/log/dbstart.asp a. User: eric; Password: Upd8t3r

Seems like it's working to me, what do you mean by offline?

Probably someone testing their server configuration and forgot to remove it.

Interesting enough for you to spend 5 minutes of your life commenting. I agree that it's a bit low on nutrition though. Funny to see stuff like this once in a while, but I wouldn't want the front page to get clogged up with this kind of nonsense.

Maybe it's on their intranet? It doesn't seem to be accessible.

Nevermind, just got to it :P.

Are you sure that's a good idea? This seems to be something to do with flight paths and the Ames research centre...

Did you really need someone to explain the purpose of a file called test.html? Seems like the filename explains it.

Didn't log in. Don't want to. Just wanted to see if the URL returned anything.

Yeah, but only because I thought there was something to it, and also it was a Friday night :-)

It did lead to some interesting discussions, so I'm not criticising - just a little disappointed!
