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:

that could be collected by a web server. The full
description of the apache log file format can be
