Counter triggered on download

[Merrill Oakes]

I have a link to a PDF file on a web page.  I want to count how many 
times that someone clicks on the link (i.e. downloads the PDF).  The 
easy way (at least for me) would be to make them go to a "download page" 
first, and I could put a counter in the page, BUT this requires an extra 
step for the user.

SO, is there any way to:#1. monitor how many a times a file has been 
downloaded, or maybe #2. have them click on a link (that is really a cgi 
script, that then increments the counter then starts the download/open 
of the PDF?  Of course this last method will disable the ability to do a 
"shift-click" to download the doc.

Thoughts, or pointers would be appreciated,

Thanks,
MO.
