The Log Module
It is possible to log the result of a request to the Library whether
regardless of what type of application is using the Library. The
current implementation of the log manager is very simple but it is
straight forward to replace the implementation with a more
sofisticated one. The current log format is defined as follows:
<HOST> <DATE> <METHOD> <URI> <RESULT> <CONTENT LENGTH>
where the date and time stamp can be either in local time or
GMT. Logging is turned off but the application can enable it at any
time. However, it is also for the application to disable the logging
in order to close any open file descriptors etc. The exact log API is
described in the Log
Manager.
