Question
Why are the .css files missing from the sessions?
Answer
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) .css files along with many others are considered binary files. The specific extensions considered as binaries are specified in the Capture configuration file for example: Passive Capture Application (PCA) capture:
page_filename !(?i)\.(au|avi|bin|bmp|cab|class|css|dcr|doc|exe|gif|gz|htc|htrc|jar|jpeg|jpg|js|mov|mp3|mp4|mpe|mpg|pdf|png|ppt|ra|ram|rar|rm|rtf|snd|swf|tif|tiff|wav|xls|zip|ico)$
The list of above file extensions identify binary files. The Capture server does not capture any responses for these binary file types.? It captures the request but discards the request in the DelImages Session Agent of the Pipeline unless the status code for the request is not 200.? This means a request for a binary file type does not appear in the list of pages of the session unless there is an error fulfilling the request.
Consider that every page probably makes many requests for these files and storing every successful REQ and RSP for these wastes a lot of space in the database and the indexes.? It makes more sense to assume they have been successful delivered unless there is a specific error associated with the request.
