Hi Pete, The UK Interconnect Team hosted stats page for REF005 and REF006 are subjected to the same automated (frame based) retrieval. The pages appear to be aggregated and displayed (along with your Jfindu pages) on a single page hosted by a 3rd party. A large percentage of REF005/REF006 stats traffic is retrieved by users of the 3rd party web page.
You can easily determine the referring page by updating your HTTP program to generate access log files that include the referrer field (not a field that is always generated by default). Once your logs include the referrer field you need to look for a web page called: jfindu-reflectors.htm <http://www.dstar.org.au/jfindu-reflectors.htm> ...and the originating (referring) host will be revealed to you. Now that you know the name of the referring web page, you could, of course, simply Google the page and see what turns up... ;-) HTH/73 de Darren G7LWT 2009/2/22 Peter Loveall <[email protected]> > I have noted that it appears there is automated screen scraping going > on against the jFindu repeater last heard page.
