I have over 10,000 302s in my logs?

Hi,

I have not set up and 302s, yet I see that there are over 10,000 in my logs for May?

What could cause this?

Thanks!

I'm sure someone from FutureQuest who can look at your account will answer momentarily.

Until then, is there a pattern of which files/directories exactly are producing the 302 moved message in your stats. You're not doing anything with .htaccess like setting a redirected www or non www ?

The domain name that we are talking about may prove useful in such a conversation.

Yes, I have many 301 redirects set up in .htaccess including non-www to www but they are 301 not 302.

artpromote.com is the domain

thanks :)

So does anyone know what causes all of the 302s? As I said I have NO 302s set up only 301s.

I looked in my access.today and I see stuff like this:

[23/Jun/2010:02:00:41 -0400] "GET /artists/imagesR/rachelCMelancholy.jpg HTTP/1.1" 302 303 "http://gabr.blogs4free.in/100422/p2/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4"
173.31.54.222

It looks like they are coming from other sites that are linking to images on my site?

Is that correct?

The 302's are a result of your mod_rewrite rules...

e.g. - look in www/images/.htaccess, you are using the '[R]' flag...

From the Apache docs:
'redirect|R [=code]' (force redirect)
Prefix Substitution with http://thishost[:thisport]/ (which makes the new URL a URI) to force a external redirection. If no code is given a HTTP response of 302 (MOVED TEMPORARILY) is used. If you want to use other response codes in the range 300-400 just specify them as a number or use one of the following symbolic names: temp (default), permanent, seeother. Use it for rules which should canonicalize the URL and give it back to the client, e.g., translate ``/~'' into ``/u/'' or always append a slash to /u/user, etc.
