in reply to Threading together "sessions" from browser logs

You say you can only go on what is in the logs. Can you tell us what your web server is logging? It might be helpful to your cause if the referrer is being logged. This is the way apache comes on my debian machine.

    Standard, out-of-the-box Apache logs. I do notice that I'm not getting referrer info in all cases, and suspect that there may be firewalls/proxies that are stripping it off in some cases, so I can't reliably use the referrer to chain together requests.
