ad_page_contract_log_duplicate (private)

 ad_page_contract_log_duplicate formal_name complaint

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/tcl-documentation-procs.tcl

Log rejection of a repeated single-valued page-contract parameter. Authenticated requests retain every full warning. Anonymous requests share five-minute rate limits, separately for bot and other pools and for return_url, view and other parameters. The existing ad_log limiter reports suppressed occurrences on the next emitted warning.

Parameters:

formal_name (required)

declared parameter name

complaint (required)

localized validation complaint
