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
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.
