Analysing SRS database usage

SRS managers,

You might have noticed that standard httpd log analysing programs are
of no use if you want to analyse SRS usage. The relevant requests call
wgetz with a long list of options and, to make situation even worse,
session IDs are there and make almost every request unique.

The attached icarus script modifies those requests that have a
database name among wgetz options by stripping out everything else.

cetus.ebi.ac.uk - - [24/Nov/1998:12:32:48 +0000] "GET
/srs5bin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-id+4ktgJ1ALlWR+-e+[EMBL-ID:'AB015367']
HTTP/1.0" 200 3140

becomes :

cetus.ebi.ac.uk - - [24/Nov/1998:12:32:48 +0000] "GET EMBL" 200 3140

This is something that any log analyser program can sort properly.

Yours,
	-Heikki
