The Requests Report shows two *.swf entries:

reqs:  %reqs: %pages: file
----: ------: ------: ----
9535: 36.16%:       : /conamehomepage
5515: 20.92%:       : /com.coname/images/conamehome_store.swf
5514: 20.91%:       :

1933:  7.33%:       : /security/logoff

Obviously the second entry most certain does carry a (pretty considerable!)
query string, but the first entry doesn't so might this be a parsing issue??

My ommission, the /conamehomepage is the result of a FILEALIAS:
FILEALIAS /visitor/0,2388,3_11060--view_129,00.html /conameHomepage

The reason for the explicit PAGEINCLUDE and PAGEEXCLUDE commands was to
entirely reproduce the WT settings. My 'problem' is that the General Report
shows:

Successful requests for pages: 9,289

but the Request Report starts:

reqs:  %reqs: %pages: file
----: ------: ------: ----
9535: 36.16%:       : /conamehomepage

Note that the count of /conamehomepage (FILEALIAS of
/visitor/0,2388,3_11060--view_129,00.html) alone is larger than the General
Report pages number and that the total of the Requests Report (excluding the
*.swf files) is 20,886.

Hope this explains more and thanks for the really quick reply :-)
