[7.075] Incorrect logging of - Always allow sites [NOTABUG]

For sites that are blocked using "Block Uncatagorised sites" option,
if I then make an exception such as our local subnet: "172.16.*", when this is finally accessed the page IS permitted correctly, but the http.log tells us differently:

2007:11:13-21:51:46 (none) httpproxy[4145]: id="0060" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked, forbidden category detected" action="pass" method="GET" srcip="172.X.X.X" user="" statuscode="304" cached="0" profile="profile_0" filteraction="action_REF_steuWzMjSk" size="0" time="18 ms" request="0x95da8d8" url="172.X.X.X/.../delete.gif" error="" category="1710" categoryname="Uncategorized" reason="category"

In actual fact the page was displayed correctly, I'm wondering if this will interfere with reporting?

Hi there,

no it is not, the important part of the logline is 'action="pass"', this tells the reporting if the site has been allowed or blocked.

In order to extend the reporting in future versions, the detected category is also logged for the allowed pages.

I hope that explains it.
regards
Gert

So it is. Thanks for pointing it out. I guess it's time to update my Astaro Log to Squid Converter perl script, that's useful information.
