Logging Web Server Requests
You can log Web server requests to a database using the logging service within the Netscape Application Server. By logging various portions of Web server requests, you can track request patterns and other important request information. For more information about logging Web server requests, see "About HTTP Web Server Logging."

You must create a database table to hold the request messages. For more information about creating this log table, see "How Web Requests are Logged."
