RefererIgnore Directive

Top - Docs - General - Server - Resource - Access - FAQ - Tutorials

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 string1 string2 ... stringn

stringn 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.

Virtual Host

This directive is valid in virtual host configuration.

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.

RefererIgnore www.cen www.ncsa

This avoids logging referers from either www.ncsa or www.cen
