Very interesting service! A number of questions...

What User-Agent do you use?

Do you crawl non-textual resources?

Do you save all headers from the crawled responses?

Do you perform any processing on the returned content (like de-chunking or de-compressing) or can it be retrieved verbatim?

If two customers request the same URL/site be crawled, are their requests merged so the site is only crawled once?

Do you save the exact time of the request (not trusting the returned 'Date' header)?
