[analog-help] Re: time out errors

2004-07-12 Thread analog-help
Hi Neil:

My question came from this:

Failure Report  shows that some pdf files are not found - but there are
there.

The links are fine as well (copied and pasted it right from the Failure
Report  into the IE and they got resolved correctly).

What could cause this then?

Thanks, Kerstin

 They don't show up at all, Kerstin

 A 'timed-out' request (from the visitor's point-of-view) never actually
 reached your server, or got a reply back to the visitor - that's why they
 are seen by them as 'timed-out' (and not 'refused', or 'non-existent', or
 some other error). So the server has no way of knowing they were ever
made,
 hence, cannot record anything to that effect.

 The nearest you might see is an error 206, which means 'content
incomplete'
 or 'transfer incomplete' or similar. I get this occasionally on a big WMV
 video file tutorial on my site, which sometimes people watch half-way
 through, and then cancel the viewing at their side. In those
circumstances,
 because the cancellation emanates from their side, and is responded to
(and
 cancelled) by my server, it CAN record a 206 error.

 But timeouts are different. Think of them instead, as rather like How
many
 visitors (that you didn't expect to be popping round) weren't actually
able
 to find your house or street? There is, after all, no way you could know,
 is there?

 Hope this helps,
 Regards
 Neil

  Hi:
 
  Where would the timed out requests show up?
 
  Would it be under the failure report?
 
  Thanks, Kerstin

Use the command
  FILEINCLUDE filename
to restrict the whole report to just that URL. Then use
  STATUS ON
to turn on the Status Code Report, which will tell you exactly what HTTP
status codes were seen for that file.
