IIS 4.0 Logs Incorrect Values for Bytes Sent Field in W3C Extended Log (248819)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q248819

SYMPTOMS

When you use the W3C Extended Log Format, Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 logs the number of bytes sent by the server to the client in the sc-bytes field. However, if an HTTP request is cancelled when you are downloading a file, the log file reflects the size of the file being transferred and not the number of bytes that are actually sent to the client.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Internet Information Server 4.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.
