This file is an Apache web log taken from the web 

server for St. Mary's University. When a visitor goes 

to their web site, the visitor's browser makes a 

request to the web server to view a web page, 

which is a file residing on the server. Each time a 

page is requested by a browser, the web server 

records information about that request. This 

weblog.txt holds the details of some of those 

requests. See below for a list of fields with an 

example:

This file does not include all possible information 

that could be collected by a web server. The full 

description of the apache log file format can be
