Re: Pages viewed but no bandwidth used?
wige is referring to pages sending a 304 code when being visited by a browser that still have the page in local cache.
There can be another reason for what memaggiem sees in his stats. If a web robot sends a HEAD request, the server will only send the header back without content. An example of application is to check if a server is alife.
I guess that you are talking about AWStats statistics. When AWStats talks about "bandwidth", only the data bytes are counted. Packets that only contain a header count for zero data. This (slightly) underestimates the real bandwidth.
