Description Uwe Weissenbacher 2005-09-14 01:38:23 UTC
Actual user agent fields are to long for webalizers 64 bytes string. If I tanke
my logfile for example:
$ awk -F\" ' { print $6} ' blog.planet-uwe.de_access_log |sort|uniq|wc -L
109

I get a max length of 109 Bytes in a log, that is not very big. This is
expecially a problem if you want to use GroupAgent (firefox for example does not
get grouped because its tag lies behind the 64 bytes barrier). I created a
patch, that changes the value in the file file webalizer.h.

Reproducible: Always

Please, submit this patch upstream, that way it will be automatically included
in Gentoo.

No real reaction so far, so it seems to me upstream is probably dead. I don't
think, that this one will get included.

This is taken care of in -r12 if you enable the xtended use flag.
