"what you see is what you get" OK, I understand the acronym, however I do not understand what this site referrer actually means. There are various numbers that follow each referrer entry.

This has rapidly become the most significant site refferr with almost 50% (formerly led by Google.)

Sounds like someone is pulling your site down via a wysiwyg editor. Probably to either to steal your content, or just to deconstruct what you are doing.

would disallowing wysiwyg* in the robots.txt help to stop this? There have been over 9 thousand hits in the last day.

Only thing I've seen with browsers and wysiwyg is the print preview function in NN4 (win platform) - url header shows up like:
wysiwyg://somenumber///http://restofurlhere

Is NN4 the UA?

Well this is what the site referrers total looks like (for 1 day):

8571: wysiwyg://50/

I will have to re-congig analog to get the full referrer string. BRB.

Don't know how to tell each specific UA, but yes the full string is:

8571: wysiwyg://50/http://www.apassion4jazz.net/keys.html

Also some other pages are being hit like this, with smaller totals.

"keys.html" a page that runs a JavaScript as a utility. There would be no reason to print it.

That is really unusual, I wonder if you have some javascript that is causing some infinite looping. Do they come in one right after another in rapid succession?

Thanks for your help littleman.

However, I don't have analog config'd to report the time or sequence on requests (don't know how) and I can't drill through my raw logs because the size prohibits full display.

I download the log each midnight and the server overwrites them once a week, so they get pretty huge near the end. EditPad is only displaying 3 days worth of raw log data.
Guess I need more than 256 memory.
