ONLINE-ADS>> Referrals on Microsoft's IIS 3.0

Hey all,

Here is a slight spin-off of the referral thread Steve Roth started.

We use referrers mostly to see where new stories are online about Tenagra's
projects and those of its clients. We have a program developed in-house
that we run every day which looks for new referrers in the access log. It
is the digital equivalent of a traditional clipping service. We see it as
an essential (and cost-effective) way to track online media coverage. We,
of course, include this information in our monthly access reports to
clients.

We have a client that is hosting their own site on a Windows NT server.
They want us to process their access logs. However, we discovered that
Internet Information Server 3.0 (Microsoft's web server) does not log
referrals. In fact, it doesn't log all the pieces of data passed between
the browser and server the way UNIX does (i.e. browser type, cookies,
etc.). And there is no obvious way to allow IIS 3.0 to log this.

Is there a way to make IIS 3.0 log this information? And does Microsoft
seriously think it can compete with UNIX as a web serving platform without
recording all the data passed between a browser and a server? Access
reports are kinda shallow without it.
