Re: [Summary-Talk] server detection

I see what was happening. Anything that matches one of the patterns 
configured in "Names that '/' defaults to" gets it's file name portion 
removed. So "/index.html" --> "/". Because the pattern was index.* it was 
removing the query string as well ("/index.html?foo" --> "/"). Now that 
you have adjusted the pattern to not match requests with query strings, 
the Google referred requests are coming through correctly.

That should resolve your problem.

What should probably really happen is that when index.* is one of the 
default names then requests, "/index.html?foo" should be transformed to 
"/?foo". That is the only way for all of the requests for the default 
page to combine correctly. I will add that to the wish list. When/if I do 
that you will need to adjust your configuration slightly.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
