Cache

hi !!

Can someone please tell me how is the cache in the apache webserver
organised . I need to catch all the html pages going through the proxy and
know which IP accessed which page at what time and make a log of it along
with the page contents .

In the current log , all I can see is are some .data and .header file . Do
these cache all the pages that are going through ? If yes .. how do I know
it corresponds to which http link and which IP accessed it ?

Re: Cache

Hi Pankaj.
are you sure you want to look at the internal cache files?
from what you are asking for the access.log is more suitable

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html
or
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_logio.html
may be of interest.

as for capturing the page contents, I don't know of anything which can
do that directly (without coding it yourself)

Re: Cache

Thanks Ian .. Do you know if any other software than apache can do that ?
A cache of the actual data files in a human readable form in which I can
tell which IP number accessed it and what what URL it actually corresponds
to ?

The URL it corresponds to is the first line of the cache file - grep
will help you there.

To see what IP accessed it, look in the logs. In addition it _may_ also
be cached along with the file, but I'm not 100% sure.

The client IP is not stored in the cache entries.

Re: Cache

Thanks .. What format is the cache stored in . I cant open the
..data file through the browser .. The .header file has the link I can see
but is the .data file compressed ?? If so how can I decompress it ?
