HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Still see jpg files as downloads
« on: December 26, 2011, 07:41:33 AM »
Just as a followup, I did move all the pictures to a virtual folder and made the entire folder a "don't count as download" folder.  Took some work, but seemed the most straightforward of the choices.

the "don't log" option is available also with real folders.

anyway i studied your problem and only solutions i can see are
- to follow the suggestion you got (of changing the location of files, dividing)
- or to disable the logging options and to script your logging method.

in the future i may add another tool for filtering the log in such cases.

The "don't log" is for the entire folder, and all the files I do want to log are in there as well.  Basically, it's big folders with lots of home movie clips, karaoke recordings, etc.  There's one thumbnail picture per "real download item", which makes the page prettier, but I don't want to see that in the log, since it looks so similar to a real download.  But if I can't clean it, I can't clean it.  HFS is still the best and easiest tool for what I do.

One last thought... From an HTML standpoint, it's just the stuff sent over as a result of IMG tags that gets in the way.  Real downloads are pointed to with an A tag and the HREF does not point to a picture.  Does that open the door to any tricks?  Any way to block things by the tag?  Maybe CSS classes?  (I don't know how to use events yet.)  Obviously having all the pictures in a "don't log" folder would work, but that's too much re-org and re-write of entire site for me, since all thumbnails are same filename across entire tree to keep index files almost identical for easy copy pasta.

Thanks.

I have all my images in a virtual folder and select them all as a list in VFS window.
Right click on the list, go to Properties > Flags and check "Don't log" and "Don't consider
as download"
I think the file mask only prevents being added to the count of downloads, but doesn't
prevent logging.

This sounds perfect, except I took the suggestion (offered by the program at folder creation time) that my folders should be real, not virtual.  I can't drill down into the top level folders to select the images and change that setting.  Anything I can do for real folders?

I've looked and read the FAQ and searched messages, but can't find any references to this.  Forgive me if I missed something somewhere.

I'd like to have HFS (running build 275, happy to update if necessary) to NOT log transfers below a certain size.  I host large things such as songs, movies, etc.  The misc icons and pictures that make up the general pages of the site are not really what I consider to be downloads.  It's tough to find the real downloads among the rest of the verbose output in the log window.

So I'd like to be able to make it so that transfers of 50K or less don't result in a "fully downloaded - filename @ speed" log line.  I'd settle for masking *.jpg to not count as a download, but HFS seems to ignore the masks I've added to try to make that happen.

Anyone?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using build 275 here, but I don't think anything has changed regarding this feature.

I am trying to thin out the amount of log lines, and have "*.jpg;" listed as "don't consider as download (mask)" setting.  Yet I still see every little .jpg in the log with "Fully downloaded blah blah blah".  Am I using it wrong?  I think I tried comma instead of semicolon as delimiter, but no joy.

Does real folder vs virtual folder matter for this setting to work?

PS. I'd also be happy with a global setting that let me pick some filesize under which to not consider as a download.

HTML & templates / Re: making a log entry from within an index.html

Those fields are empty for me.  Are you saying those defaults are assumed if fields left blank, and filling them is overriding (and should therefore include the *.html if you need it as well as the ones you add)?

HTML & templates / making a log entry from within an index.html
« on: April 06, 2011, 06:00:33 AM »
I've looked around at a lot of the questions, ran searches, and even examined the docs on scripting.  So far I haven't found anything that concisely does what I'm after, so sorry if I missed an obvious solution.

Now for my question:  I've noticed that if I link to a folder that contains an index.html file, then when the user clicks that link, the index.html file is served, but nothing shows in the log about it.  In contrast, folders that only contain files available for download (ie, no index.html) will show a GET command, along with the path, when the user goes there.  I'd like to see something similar for folders where there's an Index.html.  Is there something I can put in my index.html that will make a one-liner come out in the log?  Like a .log or .comment command?  Or are index files simply passed straight out without any processing for script commands?   I was hoping to avoid porting my index.html to template language and using the .load command.  I guess as an ugly workaround I could have it serve a 1x1 gif picture in the page, since I have JPGs turned off in file download masks.

BTW, I'm using 2.3b build 275 under Wine with Ubuntu 10.04.   Everything seems fine except that pressing the ALT key results in an unexpected exception, which seems harmless once the dialog is dismissed.

Thanks!
