(RADIATOR) radpwtst -status

[Fred Albrecht]

Hi Mike and Hugh

But is this stat then not misleading?  This is not a dropped request,it was accepted and forwarded???  Perhaps there needs to be another stat that reflects this?

Thanks for the clarification though.

:)

Yes, provided it is not a Synchronous proxy. When (if) a reply is received the 
appropriate counter will also be incremented. If no reply is received, the 
proxiedNoReply counter wil be incremented.

Hope that helps.
