I seem to be getting some very odd page count figures and wonder if someone
can help me. I've also discovered an 'undocumented feature' in analog 4.16!

'Undocumented features' first!
I've discovered that analog will be confused by a period (.) in the URL. I
have a combination of FILEEXCLUDE but then find an exclude filetype
appearing in the Request Report

>From the .cfg file
PAGEEXCLUDE *.gif,*.css,*.jpg,*.js,*.bat,*.ico,*.swf
FILEEXCLUDE *.gif,*.css,*.jpg,*.js,*.bat,*.ico,*.swf

And then in the Requests Report
5515: 20.92%:       : /com.coname/images/conamehome_store.swf

It would look like the (albeit unconventional) directory name 'com.coname'
is causing the parsing of the URL to see this as a *.coname file. not as a
*.swf and so the file count is included even though it's explicitly
excluded.

Now my page count problem
This comes from the same experiments with analog. My problem is that the
page count being given in the general summary is less even than some of the
individual page counts. So from the same report:

Successful requests: 26,366
Average successful requests per day: 36,895
Successful requests for pages: 9,289
Average successful requests for pages per day: 12,997
Failed requests: 6,547
Redirected requests: 22,115
Distinct files requested: 413
Distinct hosts served: 3,750
Unwanted logfile entries: 230,304
Data transferred: 682.157 Mbytes
Average data transferred per day: 954.623 Mbytes

Note the 'Successful requests for pages' is 9,289.

Now the Requests Report on the same report shows:

(Note also the *.swf files included as per my first note!)

Note that <conamehomepage> shows a count of 9,535 whereas the 'Successful
requests for pages' is  actually less at 9,289. The total of these page
counts (as from the Requests Report) is actually 20,886 (excluding the *.swf
files).

I've read through the documentation and simply can't figure out how
'Successful requests for pages' can actually be less than the total requests
for pages. Can anyone give me any help?

The .cfg includes the folling PAGEINCLUDE/EXCLUDE statements:
# PAGEINCLUDE
*.asa,*.asp,*.cdx,*.cer,*.cfm,*.dbm,*.htm,*.html,*.htmls,*.htp,*.htpl,*.htr,
*.htw,*.ida,*.idc,*.idq,*.mdl,*.sht,*.shtm, *.shtml,*.stm,*.txt,/
# FILEINCLUDE
*.asa,*.asp,*.cdx,*.cer,*.cfm,*.dbm,*.htm,*.html,*.htmls,*.htp,*.htpl,*.htr,
*.htw,*.ida,*.idc,*.idq,*.mdl,*.sht,*.shtm, *.shtml,*.stm,*.txt,/
PAGEEXCLUDE *.gif,*.css,*.jpg,*.js,*.bat,*.ico,*.swf
FILEEXCLUDE *.gif,*.css,*.jpg,*.js,*.bat,*.ico,*.swf

# Controlling status codes: see docs/include.html
STATUSINCLUDE 200-203,304
# STATUSEXCLUDE 206
304ISSUCCESS ON

Note I have done a good deal of experimentation around PAGE/FILEINCLUDE
including adding */ and simply / (as illustrated) as a PAGE and FILEINCLUDE
option. Interestingly if I use the FILEINCLUDE option, even with */ or /
included as an included type directory (index page) counts disappear. So for
instance, with the FILEINCLUDE line active and either */, just / or nothing
included at the tail, the first line of the Requests Report - for
"/conamehomepage" - disappears! Whatever I try though I can't get the
'Successful requests for pages' count to alter or get anywhere near the
'true' 20,886 figure.

Many thanks.../Iain
