Re: [Summary-Talk] Re. Trash in log reports

The status code for this request is 301, which is a redirect. Summary 
counts a 301 request as a success, the user was successfully redirected 
to another page. Apparently your server is redirecting errors to a 
separate error page, instead of serving the error directly (which would 
be the correct thing to do). Depending on what server software you are 
running, it may be possible to reconfigure the server to do the right 
thing, or it might not.

This server behavior is going to make it difficult to detect bad links, 
as all of the errors will be on the error page, and not on the request 
that actually had a problem.

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.
