Re: capturing full URL information via DNS request logs

[John Ladwig <John.Ladwig () SO MNSCU EDU>]

Seems like that's still what ASA's do.  We haven't made a full analysis of their behavior, and thus we don't have what 
you would call a solution.

The existing behavior suffices to handle enough of our use-cases  (malware downloads and bot activity &c) to keep us 
more than busy.

We looked at the ASA a while back and it seemed that it would only log
the first URI in a connection. So we could see that a user went to
http://www.google.com/, for example, however if they maintained a
persistent HTTP connection then we wouldn't see the following search
requests.

Have you encountered this, and if so are you aware of a solution?
