My Webfilter Log - can anyone explain

[halojoy]

As I have mentioned before, and also have
linked to on my homepage,
I use Proxomitron Webfilter.
It kills things.
Popups large Banners and other unpleasant stuff.

So I opened the Log Window of my Webfilter program.
This Log was generated ONLY
for a REFRESH of www.diyaudio.com - root
That is the first page at diyaudio.

But I cannot understand so much of that Log.
Sure is a lot of information,
just for Refresh of one single page.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone understand and give some basic explaination?
What is the program doing?
Can I have any use of that log?

Is anyone else using some "webfilters"?
What is good and bad with using them?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the logfile in "proxomitron_log.txt"

You are just seeing every request made for the page and each image on it.

Your logs show the full http conversation, including all request and response details. This is all normal stuff that goes on when you load a web page. Each image on the page is requested separately, one at a time. A single web page is made up of many files, including an html file, a style sheet (in this case), and many image files. What you are seeing in your logs is the actual low-level conversation between your browser and the web server. Your browser first requests a default index file, and after parsing that file, requests all necessary files to render the page.

Makes you appreciate how fast a simple web page actually loads, when you consider all that is involved.
