I have a website, www.mysite.com. I have set up a unique URL for a specialty

to track how many people clicked through on the unique URL. Is this
possible?  If so, how?

We actually have several unique URL's we've given to that site, so I can't
just go by the total number of referrals.

analog does not count hits that resulted in a 301 or 302 response as successful hits.

You can either preprocess the server logs replacing the 301 or 302 status codes with 200 status codes (in Perl, s!(HTTP/1\..") 30[12]!$1 200!;) but you will be overcounting traffic to your site because you count the redirected hit twice now.

Alternatively you can append a suffix at the target URL in the redirect rule, and count the specific page views, like www.example.com/?special.

Or use a CGI which logs the request itself and then performs its own redirect via Location header. (make sure the file writing is multiuser safe) If you generate that file in CLF, then you could probably feed it to Analog separately for reporting.
