Web Access log
Below are examples of the information collected based on a standard request
for a World Wide Web document:
- 123.12.123.12 - - [22/Jun/1999:10:19:07 -0400] "GET /nara/http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/images/naraicon.gif

HTTP/1.0" 200 5098
123.12.123.12 -- this is the host name or IP address associated
with the requester (you as the visitor). Depending on the requester's
method of network connection, the host name or IP address may or may not
identify a specific computer. Connections via many Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) assign different IP addresses for each session, so the host name
identifies only the ISP. If the computer is behind a firewall, the firewall
IP address will be identified. The host name or IP address will identify
a specific computer if that computer has a fixed IP address.
[22/Jun/1999:10:19:07 -0400] -- this is the date and time of the
request
"GET /nara/http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/images/naraicon.gif
HTTP/1.0" -- this is the location of the requested file
200 -- this is the status code - 200 is ok, the request was filled
222 -- this is the size of the requested file in bytes.
