stream.key?

[keyplyr]

Recently I have been paying more attention to my error logs and have noticed numerous 'file not found' errors for "stream.key".

These futile requests are coming form different users. I do not stream audio or video but do offer MIDI file downloads. Could some users be manually looking for a stream server for these downloads or does this term apply to something entirely different?

I'm sure you've done the same as me by searching for it through a search engine. I wonder if it is some form of downloader that is keying on your Midi files?

You don't have any streaming audio/video on the site at all?

No, the stream webcasts I offer are remotely served. A stream server is included through my virtual host, but MIDI files (my only downloads currently) are small and hardly warrant stream.

The requests continue and yes, the best I can figure is that several of my repeat visitors have stream pluggins on their browsers (like Crescendo) which are sending out the requests. When they do not find the file, I would imagine they switch to FTP.

Before I installed analog, I was not aware of this. I had always used server hosted webstats that were very limited.
