webalizer (streaming version)


Hello,

Yes, that's something which is making trouble with webalizer stats...
when I made this version of webalizer, the log line for the source was
containing the total amount of bytes transfered to the source (read by
icecast).
That was pretty handy for stats about sources.
But since some time (a few months), this has changed.

As i remember, I had a discussion with Karl on that subject. The small
amount of bytes corresponds to the data send by icecast (not very sure,
but maybe), so the log files are showing the output of the server (as
for any client listener)...
Writing source total amount of bytes read by icecast was breaking this rule.

If this behaviour is necessary for some reasons, may be a compilation
option could do the previous behaviour...
I would like to have that...


Regards,
Chris

the source, the number of seconds at the end of the log line is correct,
however webalizer uses the bytes transferred to calculate it's statistics.

not sent but received, but I still think it would be better to log the
amount of source data transferred in the access.log. You could rename the
sent_bytes field in connection.h to transferred_bytes.
