301's are moved permanently. Not exactly errors.
Example:
if someone links to or types http://www.kl.net/scans it will generate 2
log entries,
first the 301 response and the subsequent http://www.kl.net/scans/
that the browser then grabs. I used to have a significant number
of those, because I diddn't have trailing slashes in any of the
hrefs on my pages (oops!).
IMO It's perfectly ok to count 304's, they indicate a user is accessing
the object again, but they will probably get it from their cache instead
of your server. If browsers always access the object anyway, that too
would result in 2 for one hits, but that isn't usually the case unless
someone hit's reload.

| (...) So when places talk about "page views per day" they probably are including 304's? :-) I'd guess so, because it helps inflate the numbers, heheh. --Todd (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
