This is a tarpit, modeled after [Nepenthes](https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/), intended to catch unwelcome web crawlers, but with a slightly different, more aggressive intended usage scenario. The core idea is to configure a reverse proxy to serve content generated by `iocaine` to AI crawlers, but normal content to every other visitor. This differs from Nepenthes, where the idea is to link to it, and trap crawlers that way. Not with `iocaine`, where the trap is laid by the reverse proxy.
`iocaine` does not try to slow crawlers. It does not try to waste their time that way - that is left up to the reverse proxy. `iocaine` is *purely* about generating garbage.
