URL Parameter in Logfile

Is there something else that needs to be turned on for this to work? |
Hi, I had encountered a similar problem previously and my best bet on the culprit is the log file.
In my case, the URL parameters that were displayed on internet browser somehow did not match what were captured in the log files. Apparently, the web server converted some of the special characters e.g. space, question marks etc to other characters. As a interim measure, I wrote a script to scrub the logfile before it was send for analysis.
Hope this helps.
