Re: [Summary-Talk] WebSTAR V logging advice

[Nick Davis <ndavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try changing your log file request line to this:

coldhollow/logs/*

instead of this:

coldhollow/logs

So you are telling summary to download the files in the "logs" directory 
instead of the "logs" directory itself.

Just a thought.
