Hello! I'm a happy Apache 2.2.3 user, everything is working just fine, except for this oddity which i'd like to see explained if possible ;-)
I recently hosted a large patch to a popular MMORPG on my blog, and as expected, i got tons of hits on it. Curious as i am, i started investigating what / where / who these hits came from and found this in my logs (only showing HTTP Status and Bytes Transferred): 200 268939916 206 5825969 206 11646796 206 228617796 206 107575967 206 68177222 206 227867859 206 173765305 206 164469689 206 167575428 206 170672939 206 173799865 (All hits from one unique IP) Aparently this visitor transferred a total of 1.768.934.751 bytes. The patch is ~300MB, but my traffic stats and graphs do not reflect this. As it turns out, Apache logs the bytes transferred for partial requests as if each and every byte from the position it started from was transferred to the visitor. I tried this myself by wget'ing a large file from my server and continously interrupting it before wget -c'ing it again, and it gave me the same results in the logs. I'm a bit puzzled as to why this is. The process handling the request should be aware of when it started transferring and when it stopped transferring, right? Can anyone shed a light? :) Kind regards, Sander. -- | Did you hear about the cat that ate a ball of wool? -- It got mittens. | 1024D/08CEC94D - 34B3 3314 B146 E13C 70C8 9BDB D463 7E41 08CE C94D --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
