Module mod_log_referer
This module is contained in the mod_log_referer.c
file, and is not
compiled in by default. It provides for logging of the documents which
reference documents on the server.
Log file format
The log file contains a separate line for each refer. Each line has the
format
uri ->
document
where uri is the (%-escaped) URI for the document that references
the one requested by the client, and document is the (%-decoded)
local URL to the document being referred to.
Directives
RefererIgnore
Syntax: RefererIgnore string string ...
Context: server config, virtual host
Status: Extension
Module: mod_log_referer
The RefererIgnore directive adds to the list of strings to ignore in
Referer headers. If any of the strings in the list is contained in
the Referer header, then no referrer information will be logged for the
request. Example:
RefererIgnore www.ncsa.uiuc.edu
This avoids logging references from www.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
RefererLog
Syntax: RefererLog file-pipe
Default: RefererLog logs/referer_log
Context: server config, virtual host
Status: Extension
Module: mod_log_referer
The RefererLog directive sets the name of the file to which the server will
log the Referer header of incoming requests. File-pipe is one
of
- A filename
- A filename relative to the ServerRoot.
- `|' followed by a command
- A program to receive the referrer log information on its standard input.
Note the a new program will not be started for a VirtualHost if it inherits
the RefererLog from the main server.
Security: if a program is used, then it will be
run under the user who started httpd. This will be root if the server
was started by root; be sure that the program is secure.
This directive is provided for compatibility with NCSA 1.4.
