If you at least have CGI, I suppose you could do something in Perl to
achieve this (I'm no expert in Perl). Otherwise, why not just use the web
server log file, if you only want to know how many times a file was accessed?
I don't see how client-side Javascript could do it, because you need
something server-side to write to the log.
