Yes, as I stated in the original email and the email correcting you when 
you said impressions, I am talking about HTTP hits. I'm not aware of 
'non-Raw HTTP' and how hits using it can measured (or should that be 
'Baked-HTTP' Hit or 'Pan-Fried-HTTP' Hit? :)). We use AWStats for data 
generation and so I've used the term hit in-line with it's usage in 
AWStats (see http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_glossary.html), 
which seems to be the most common usage I've come across.

Checking version information in AndAppStore is a single HTTP Get request 
to a single URL which generates an XML file that has no associated 
resources and thus is counted as one hit which is processed by the 
Struts 2.1 framework. Requests for human readable web pages made either 
via a browser or from the AndAppStore client also generate at least one 
hit which is handed by the Struts 2.1 framework, so unless a server 
error is generated (i.e. the 500 series of errors in rfc2616),  I can 
give a good idea of how many hits the Struts 2.1 framework has 
processed, and hence why I included a rough percentage of total hits for 
the Struts guys so they can see the percentage of total queries which 
their framework is handling.

As the static resources (such as images, style sheets, etc.) have 
caching headers set on them and a reasonable percentage of hits come 
from behind the T-Mobile proxies (which appear to do appropriate caching 
of the static resources), it's not unexpected to see the percentage of 
hits requiring processing via the framework this high. This is by design 
because there is no point in having clients re-request static images 
just to see how many times the download button has been shown.

As I've said before, the post was intended to go to struts-dev and was 
posted here by mistake, hence why the figures are of more interest to 
the guys developing the frameworks involved than to those here (You can 
see the repost at  
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/struts-dev/200811.mbox/browser).
