The logs are from an IIS Windows server, but I'm running Analog on a RedHat Linux Server. I had the directive case set to insensitive. That was counter intuitive.
CASE INSENSITIVE When I check my setting, the objectID was converted to lowercase. Including (+) and excluding (-) the following files: All excluded, then + /*0847dda0-f261-59bf-faa04eb1ec032b61 How come this directive works: FILEINCLUDE /*?*0847DDA0-F261-59BF-FAA04EB1EC032B61 But this directive does not work: FILEINCLUDE /*0847DDA0-F261-59BF-FAA04EB1EC032B61 Why do I have to have stars (*) on both sides of the question mark? ?
