Figure 10.5 HTTP protocol inspector settings
Use the Enable HTTP Log and Enable Web Log options to enable/disable logging of HTTP
queries (opened web pages) to the HTTP log (see chapter 20.10) and to the Web log (refer
to chapter 20.14).
Log format can be chosen for the Enable HTTP Log item: Apache access log
(http://www.apache.org/) or Squid proxy log (http://www.squid-cache.org/).
This may be important especially when the log would be processed by a specific analysis
tool.
Both HTTP and Web logs are enabled by default. The Apache option is selected by default
for its better reference.
Use the Apply filtering rules also for local server to specify whether content filtering
rules will be applied to local WWW servers which are available from the Internet (see
chapter 6). This option is disabled by default — the protocol inspector only scans HTTP
protocol syntax and performs logging of queries ( WWW pages) according to the settings.
