Hello. Thanks for the response. Would the rewrite be 'lightweight' ? I don't understand how I would use it to change the status code (from 404) when the file isn't there, yet not interrupt when the file does show up?
You are talking about "conditional logging" in Apache? I don't think that would help me here. I am not using the Apache log, but rather what (status) gets returned to NeoLoad, via http(s).

You could configure mod_rewrite to return 410 (Gone) for some of those resources if that would help you differentiate. You could also disable logging for the results file ("conditional logging") -- Eric Covener [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
