Hi,
One of the longstanding issues with Webstatscollector is that it
counts redirects at the HTTP level.
So for example [1]:
- Requesting a page with a lower case first letter,
- Requesting a page from the desktop site on a mobile device, or
- Requesting to
www.wikipedia.org (first part is www, not a language)
causes two requests to the caches, and webstatscollector counts both,
although actually only a single page is shown to the user.
Thereby too high numbers get reported.
Since we're about the deploy a fix for webstatscollector tomorrow
anyways, and this double counting should not be too hard to fix, let's
get it fixed too.
If you see value in counting redirects, please let us know soonish, as
I'll try to get the changes into tomorrow's deployment.
Sorry for the short notice,
Christian
