Feedfetcher-Google requests do appear to originate from several machines, however it's not uncommon to see several requests from the same machine within seconds or minutes, e.g. 74.125.75.17 - - [04/Apr/2010:13:44:37 +0000] "GET /2006/11/07/blast-google-gadget/blast.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 1797 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible) Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html)" 74.125.75.17 - - [04/Apr/2010:14:00:07 +0000] "GET /2006/11/07/blast-google-gadget/blast.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 1797 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible) Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html)" or: 74.125.16.65 - - [04/Apr/2010:16:57:52 +0000] "GET /2006/11/07/blast-google-gadget/blast.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 1797 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible) Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html)" 74.125.16.65 - - [04/Apr/2010:16:57:53 +0000] "GET /2006/11/07/blast-google-gadget/blast.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 1797 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible) Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html)" This adds up to a few hundred requests a day. Not a big deal, but it seems a bit odd. There are perhaps a dozen or so people who use this gadget. I'm also surprised that Feedfetcher-Google doesn't do conditional requests (the gadget file is returned with Last-Modified and Etag headers). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
