OAI tidbit

I got asked for repository statistics today, so I spent far more time than I wanted to just getting DSpace’s statistics module to work right. (They changed the log format in 1.4, and there’s a patch, and we’d done some weird things with old logs, and… look, you don’t want the whole sob story.)

Perusing the result, I came upon these two curious little lines:

OAI Requests 54,106
OAI Error 42,289

Oh dear. I’m not sure what to think about that. I’m responsible for a few of those errors (the easiest way for me to experiment with OAI verbs is to hand-construct URLs, and I frequently make mistakes), but almost certainly less than a hundred!
