NAME

       referer2dlf - convert referer web server log file to www DLF

SYNOPSIS

       referer2dlf file

DESCRIPTION

       referer2dlf converts Referer web server log files to the www DLF. Referer log format was first implemented in the NSCA httpd server.
       Apache can be configured to log in that format.

       Note that if you want to log referer information, the combined log format is a better format.

REFERER LOG FORMAT

       The Referer log format logs the referer information in the following format :

	I<uri> -> I<document>

       where the fields have the following meaning:

       uri The referring URI. This is the content of the Referer request's header which usually reflects the page where the user was before that
	   request.

       document
	   The local document that was referenced by that URI. This is the requested file without any query string.

EXAMPLES

       To process a log as produced in the referer logformat:

	$ referer2dlf < referer.log

       referer2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report:

	$ lr_log2report referer < /var/log/httpd/referer.log
