[Wylug-help] Web stats recognisisng mime types

[Felix Ulrich-Oltean]

Hi

We are serving a lot of sites using Zope and associated software.
Images and files are treated just like any other object, and therefore
there is no guarantee that the URL will end in .jpg or .gif or
whatever.  Additionally, the sites auto-generate variants,
e.g. thumbnails, whose URLs are something like
"..../pagename/image.gif/thumbnail".

I know Apache can log the "Content-Type" header, but it seems like the
stats package we use (awstats) doesn't know what to do with it.  The
problem is that we end up with very inflated page view figures because
images are being reported as pages.

Are there any decent stats packages out there (free would be great :-)
that can recognise images etc based on mime type rather than just
extension?

Cheers

Felix.
