[Scratchy-user] Possible reason for problems reported with parsing in 0.8

[GeckoX <ge...@ke...>]

I think I might have an idea on why some of my log files cannot be
parsed. It seems that Scratchy cannot handle a user agent of "-". I am
trying to import old logs that I had to convert into "combined" format.
Some of the hits (many of them, actually) had lost their user agent
attribute. I had a "-" placed for those hits' user agents, since that is
(as I understand it) the RFC's recommendation for an entry where the
data is not available or not applicable.

It seems that Scratchy cannot handle this "-" user agent and coughs up
an error about op_sys_id.

I am not familiar with Python and my regex abilities are similar to
those of my 2-year-olds, so I don't know how to fix this.

Can Scratchy be made to handle "-" entries better (at least for user
agents)?

Thanks.
