INFORMATION COLLECTED FOR STATISTICS
Below is an example of the information collected based on a standard
request for a World Wide Web document:
-
www.xxx.yyy.com - - [19/Jan/1999:17:40:20 -0800] "GET /index.html
HTTP/1.1" 200 12547 "http://www.armfor.uscourts.gov/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;
MSIE 4.01; Windows 95)"
www.xxx.yyy.com (or 111.222.333.444) -- this is the host
name (or IP address) associated with the requester (you as the visitor).
In this example, (....com) the requester is coming from a commercial
address. Depending on the requester's method of network connection, the
host name (or IP address) may or may not identify a specific computer.
Connections via many Internet Service Providers assign different IP addresses
for each session, so the host name identifies only the ISP. The host name
(or IP address) will identify a specific computer if that computer has
a fixed IP address.
[19/Jan/1999:17:40:20 -0800] -- this is the date and time of
the request
"GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" -- this is the location of the requested
file on http://www.armfor.uscourts.gov/
200 -- this is the status code - 200 is OK - the request was
filled
12547 -- this is the size of the requested file in bytes
"http://www.armfor.uscourts.gov/" -- this is the referrer
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;MS IE 4.01;Windows 95)" -- this is the
user-agent
Requests for other types of documents use similar information. No other
user-identifying information is collected.
