In the current releases you have to base it on IP,port,URL for best
resolution. Nothing is completely unique even then.

We have plans for a Master Transaction tracker which will eventually
allow this type of reporting as each transaction gets an ID assigned.
The base code has only just been merged to 3.HEAD, but it is nowhere
near complete yet and I am working on it in spare time (like everything
else). I expect to have usable code assigning a unique ID to each
received client HTTP transaction in a week or two. Beyond that is
unknown ground as far as timing goes.
  If you are able to throw some sponsorship my way it will help increase
the time spent to speed that up a little.
