hi drupalers,
Ive been thinking for the fast few weeks on how to capture the actual urls in my server logs(aside from the drupal accesslogs). "actual url" means, its the cleaned url-path auto generated urls.
ex.
if im accessing this url:
http://www.mysite.com/section/09/15/08/lacson-discloses-more-insertions-...
i get this server access log:
2008-08-13 19:08:32 69.200.132.113 GET /sites/mysite.com/themes/themeko-home/images/lacson.png 80 - 69.200.208.5 GET /sites/mysite.com/themes/themeko-home/images/lacson.png HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16 69.200.132.113 304 0 - 0
i was able to researched on this and it seems that when you enabled clean-url and pathauto it doesnt really capture the actual url, what it captures are the object files. im not really sure if this is really exhibiting this kind of behavior. drupal 5.x also does this.
capturing the server logs can greatly help on determining your web site statistics by processing it over webstat(opensource) or from webtrends(commercial). Some large companies present this statistics to their clients for marketing.
Guys do you have any idea on how to capture the actual url?
