Agreed, for the majority of the time you are actually going to want to count
redirected requests as being different from a "normal" request, and that
requests for "/somedir" get redirected to a request for "/somedir/". I can
definately understand that in those cases you don't want to count the request
twice.
What I'm trying to find a 'nice' way to work with, though, is that we've moved
a bunch of material from some old sites that we had to a new domain name, and
wanted to try to keep the reports for the "old" sites the way that they were.
My client doesn't really care whether the request was handled by the server or
redirected off to another machine, but instead just wants the "total requests"
regardless of what happened to them. For the moment, I'm post-processing the
output from Analog to conglomerate the results of the redirected and request
reports so that we've got totals for both of them, but was wondering if there
was an easier way to do this.
I'll take it from the responses that I've seen that for the moment the only
available options are to either:
1) Munge the logdata so that redirects turn into "200" requests.
2) Post-process the output to calculate the totals myself.
