Apache/CLF access logging middleware for Nodejs. Adds NodeJs requests to your existing apache or CLF analytics.
npm install apache-logAuthor: Robert Edward Steckroth II
Digital Persona: Surgemcgee, Bustout
Licence: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3
Description:
Outputs NodeJs request/response event logs with a Apache/CLF format. Supports common and combined log formats. Licensed under the GNU v3.
Features:
* Automatic Content-length computations
* Activated when a response.end is called
* Does not require middleware, e.g. express or connect
* Defaults to Apache2 log formatting defaults
* Does not require a call to writeHead to output with CLF conformity
Caveats:
* Will not compute time zone information. Many clf analyzers use geoip given this is a common problem.

Usage:
``
var apache_log = require('apache-log')
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
apache_log.logger(req, res)
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'} )
res.end('This is when the logger will output to the specified log file.')
}).listen(8080)
Settings:
Set simple options according to the object-parse syntax
``
apache_log.data.settings({
directory: '/var/log/apache2/', // directory to the log file
filename: 'access.log', // file name of the log file
format: 'combined', // "common" is a shorter format. Default is "combined". See apache clf docs for details
}, apache_log.data.cli_parse()) // parse the cli input as well (see object-parse module for details)
