Re: [Handle-info] Resolution statistics

[Robert Tupelo-Schneck <schneck@cnri.reston.va.us>]

This is something we are discussing, although it's too early in that process to make any predictions about when such a service might be available.

The information that you can get from your handle server should be available in the access.log files, so changing the storage module shouldn't be necessary in general.  But, as you have noted, information such as client location and referrer is not available to the handle server, and information about resolutions in cache at hdl.handle.net is never available.  When you also have the web server of the redirection URLs, you can get all that information I believe, although you can not distinguish which requests came via handle resolution.
