Hmmm... seems to be a bit of a disagreement on that... lol. I'm pretty much in the camp that says the spider can't see anything that the server doesn't send to it. So if it asks for a page with includes the server is going to put the content into the page and THEN send it to the spider. Basically there are 3 ways to access a file on a webserver. HTTP, FTP and SSH/Telnet. FTP and SSH/Telnet require a password and username in most cases and HTTP doesn't see any difference between Joe Surfer and Moe Spider. And a SE spider doesn't use FTP or other protocols because it is spidering WEB content. If a spider can see what is actually on the server as opposed to what is served by HTTP then there would be a HUGE security hole. That would mean that someone could write a script to emulate a spider and download all the .htaccess and other files on a server.
