WEBrick::AccessLog

Module

AccessLog provides logging to various files in various formats.

Multiple logs may be written to at the same time:

access_log = [
  [$stderr, WEBrick::AccessLog::COMMON_LOG_FORMAT],
  [$stderr, WEBrick::AccessLog::REFERER_LOG_FORMAT],
]

server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new :AccessLog => access_log

Custom log formats may be defined. WEBrick::AccessLog provides a subset of the formatting from Apache’s mod_log_config httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats. See AccessLog::setup_params for a list of supported options

This format specification is a subset of mod_log_config of Apache:

%a: Remote IP address
%b: Total response size
%e{variable}: Given variable in ENV
%f: Response filename
%h: Remote host name
%{header}i: Given request header
%l: Remote logname, always “-”
%m: Request method
%{attr}n: Given request attribute from req.attributes
%{header}o: Given response header
%p: Server’s request port
%{format}p: The canonical port of the server serving the request or the actual port or the client’s actual port. Valid formats are canonical, local or remote.
%q: Request query string
%r: First line of the request
%s: Request status
%t: Time the request was received
%T: Time taken to process the request
%u: Remote user from auth
%U: Unparsed URI
%%: Literal %
