Hey Jeremy,
Thanks for your message. I would have said the same, except the numbers I
see for a particular site indicate that Analog is *not* counting the "GET /
HTTP/1.1" requests, but it *is* counting the "GET / HTTP/1.o" requests.
Sure has me puzzled..
I acknowledge that the "302" status code means these are redirects..
however, for the "200's", Analog would normally count those, but isn't in
this case.

AFAIK, Analog counts all requests regardless of protocol. If someone come to
your site, hits it with an 'If-Modified-Since' header and chooses to pull it
from the local cache instead, don't you want to count that as a hit? Since
headers are recorded, Analog can't know if it was an HTTP/1.1 GET request or
an
HTTP/1.1 GET If-Modified-Since request.

In the case of these two, the status codes distinguish the response. The
first
sent the full page (2012 bytes) and the second sent a 302-Found (temporary
redirection). This should have no relationship to the HTTP version.

Analog can also read a 304-Not Modified response (usually sent by a GET
request
with If-Modified-Since header when the file is not modified). By default, it
treats these as successful requests. This can be changed with the
304ISSUCCESS
command. See docs/include.html#304.
