target_http

This target will dump part of the HTTP traffic into usable files. It uses the Mime-Type provided by the server and a database in flat file format to match the right files to dump.

Parameters:

Name	Default value	Description
prefix	/tmp/	Prefix of the files including the path. For example, a prefix of '/tmp/dump' will create files in /tmp and named dump-XXXXXXXX. The prefix supports variable expansion. See File path expansion for more details.
decompress	yes	Enable gzip/deflate support. Content will be dumped as is otherwise. This parameter is only present if zlib support is compiled in.
mime_types_db	${DATAROOT}/mime_types.db	Path to the database of mime types. See here for the latest mime database content.

log_format	%v %a %u %t “%r” %s %b	Format of log lines in the log file. Very similar to the format of apache2's mod_log_config. See the table below for supported expansions.
ds_log_path		Path to the datastore. When non empty, target_http will log the requests in the provided datastore according in the format described in the parmarameter ds_log_format. The syntax is <datastore_name>/<dataset_prefix>.
ds_log_format	%v %a %u %t %r %s %b	Format of the dataset where logging information will be saved. The table below describe the supported fields. Extra characters will be ignored.
