Hi list,

I have awstats for site tracking (awstats.sourceforge.net). Works great for static and DA URLs, however for WO component URLs I want to record just the hit to the app.woa and omit the /wo/ 67g2323gt3238g28gfr3/1.1.1.1.1. stuff (the session id and the component dynamic element ids) for security reasons. I know we have per-instance stats on the woa's, but we have static content and wanted a quick and inexpensive highlevel reporting of all site activity including summary traffic data for each woa.

The problem is that awstats gives me the ability to omit all /cgi-bin/ WebObjects URLs altogether using a REGEX, but then I get not stats at all for its contribution to site traffic, bandwidth, etc.

I could put session ids in cookies for all apps, but I don't want to depend on that just to get awstats doing its thing.

The unsatisfactory workaround is to add a capital W to the Query Separator Character params in the awstats config, so I have ?;W instead of standard ?;

This results in ignoring the part of *any* URL after a capital W anwhere in the URL. So, it protects the session ids, but crops any static urls with W in them too.

Has anyone come across this before and come up with a better least- effort solution on configuring awstats to play nicely with WO urls and ignore the session and dynamic part of WO urls?

Regards, Kieran
