[Zope] Images showing as pages in web log stats / analysis

Hi

Images and other non-html objects in Zope have no obligation to end in
a certain extension, e.g. .jpg.  This is causing us trouble with web
log analysis: images are showing up as pages and badly distorting the
usage statistics.

Has anyone found a web stats packages that can be configured to
understand what a 'page' is, e.g. looking at the content-type header,
which can be logged by Apache?

The only contingency we have is to pre-process the logs and append
extensions ourselves before passing to the web stats package, but this
is not an ideal solution as there are commercial issues related to
advertising etc. - they don't like the logs being messed with.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Felix.
