MSN: Form=MSN6b, PORE,QBRE, MSNH ..

.. what does this mean?

[larryhatch]

I'm getting some traffic via MSN Search now.

In the Access_log entries for those, I see things like
Form=MSN6b,=PORE =QBRE =MSNH =AS5 =A8, always with Form= first. Whuzzat mean?

While I'm at it, I will get a long series of hits, one per page with entries like:

.. MSN 9.0;MSN 9.1; MSNbQ002; MSNmen-us; MSNcOTH; MPLUS) and many others similar.

What are _those_ all about? - Larry

I know the Form=foo stuff are referral trackers. What each of the values mean, I haven't a clue.

As for the long strings you are seeing, they are the User Agent of the browser. Each value is attached by the various programs installed on the user's computer. In your case, a lot of MSN stuff.
