mod_usertrack and initial requests

| My marketing folks are asking me to track a user's progress through the
site, including all the images they see, their entry point, when they
stop viewing pages, etc.
Using mod_usertrack for this seemed to be a no-brainer *except* that
the initial page-request doesn't have the mod_usertrack cookie in the
logfile (presumably because it wasn't *sent* by the client). Is there
any way to have apache sort that out under the hood and "pretend like
it received that cookie" when it goes to do the logging?

I have the same problem and used modified the log format to log the
"set-cookie" outgoing header. IIRC, "%{Set-cookie}o" is the format,
though it may be a bit wrong as I don't have the docs in front of me.
Good luck,
Mark
