How webbies viewed source code
Since WebTV had no way of viewing the source code of web pages, developers gave webbies perl or php tools too view them. One such code was provided by Doug Wells (U_L_T_R_A):

(Thjs copy will not work, probably because it was moved outside of ascii mode) These server based viewers would not work for pages that were "protected" by the .htaccess statement:
deny from all
allow from 209.240

This gave webbies a false sense of security because all such tools were on servers with IPs that did not begin with 209.240.
All WebTV server IPs began with 209.240 -- so what if a code could be written to make the referrer for a page 209.240 ? Simply write a JavaScript page, add it to an fkey on your webby, and voila! you have your source code.

Here is mine from my webby days:

Here is the code:

NOTE: This does not work for PCs
