Dear all,

I want to prevent a certain request from showing up in the log files.  
The site I am building had to have a chat which I implemented with  
Ajax, this floods my log files with updated request from the chat.  
Less than desireable. How do I prevent an entire action (call) from  
being logged?

Thanks in advance!
