20041014: rtstats web page

Mike,

I checked our web logs, and this garbage exists in other
URL requests to pages that are not CGIs. Of course, regular html pages
don't use passed parameters, so they don't care.

Anyhow, I don't think it is the rtstats CGI here, since I see requests
to the infamous rainbow pages with the same tacked on string
and those URLs aren't being generated by rtstats of course.

We'll see if we can track down the source of those unidata= strings.

>>Can you try just:
>>http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?NNEXRAD+rossby.met.sjs
> u.edu
>>
>>Also, since you upgraded to 6.0.15, you should show in the output from #1
>>your correct LDM version:
>>RTSTATS Index by Site
>>
>>Real-time Statistics for rossby.met.sjsu.edu [ LDM 6.0.15 ]
>>
>>
>>I'll try to see what the source of that string is from our web experts.
