Yep - your're right - just finished the morning coffee. I guess what I was trying to say was that while both are copied to the profiler only the outbound request is currently messed around with and 307 redirected to put the cookies on the requesting machine. The inbound response, while copied to the profiler is currently sent to the user unaltered. The OP was indicating that the Phorm applications could or would be replacing advertisments on the site they were viewing with Phorm/OIX adverts, this is not the case (as the technology currently stands).
