RefererIgnore directive

Purpose

The RefererIgnore directive tells HTTPd to ignore certain RefererLog lines. If the RefererIgnore string is contained in the Referer header, then the line is not logged.

Syntax

RefererIgnore string

string is the set of characters to look for in the Referer header. If this string is found, then the Referer is not logged. If there is no RefererIgnore directive, then all referer information is logged.

At most one RefererIgnore directive is allowed in the configuration file.

Default

If you do not specify a RefererIgnore, HTTPd doesn't ignore logging any RefererLog lines.

Examples

RefererIgnore www.ncsa.uiuc.edu

This avoids logging referers from www.ncsa.uiuc.edu

RefererIgnore news

This avoids logging referers from news articles.
