Please consider the following scenario:
" a user is visiting http://www.arctic.org/~trockij/ "

As you can see, the homepage embeds 3 images: trockij.gif,
trockij-parappa.jpg and good-for-the-company.png

The user then clicks on the link called "not very impressive to look at", 
which points to http://www.arctic.org/~trockij/kernel.org.jpg

Now, hawKeye will indeed know that the user saw trockij.gif, 
trockij-parappa.jpg, good-for-the-company.png and kernel.org.jpg, but only by 
parsing the HTTP requests, there is no way of distinguishing between the 
images that were embedded in the homepage, and the kernel.org.jpg that was 
viewed separately, as illustrated by the following 2 HTTP requests:

GET /~trockij/trockij.gif HTTP/1.1 
Connection: Keep-Alive 
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.0 (like 
Gecko) 
Referer: http://www.arctic.org/~trockij/ 
Pragma: no-cache 
Cache-control: no-cache 
Accept: image/png, image/jpeg, video/x-mng, image/jp2, 
image/gif;q=0.5,*/*;q=0.1 
Accept-Encoding: x-gzip, x-deflate, gzip, deflate 
Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1, utf-8;q=0.5, *;q=0.5 
Accept-Language: en 
Host: www.arctic.org

and

GET /~trockij/kernel.org.jpg HTTP/1.1 
Connection: Keep-Alive 
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.0 (like 
Gecko) 
Referer: http://www.arctic.org/~trockij/ 
Accept: text/html, image/jpeg, image/png, text/*, image/*, */* 
Accept-Encoding: x-gzip, x-deflate, gzip, deflate 
Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1, utf-8;q=0.5, *;q=0.5 
Accept-Language: en 
Host: www.arctic.org 

Well, the first one has indeed some extra headers (Pragma and Cache-control) 
but I doubt they can be used for distinguishing between the embedded image 
and the one viewed separately.

Anybody got a better idea?


Kind regards,
