ntop maintains a log of it's OWN web traffic.  

But what you would need to do is to monitor the requests and responses.  The
trick would be matching them up.

For a one-off, I might use tcpdump and awk/perl.

I don't think that's something we would put into ntop, and it's more an
ntop-dev discussion anyway...

Subject: [Ntop] "Ghost" webserver access log with Ntop?

I'd like to build a system that can "create" a standard webserver access log
for a given webserver (that sits in our datacenter) by just capturing and
decoding traffic passively through a network TAP.

This log can be fed to Webalizer, Webtrends or whatever loganalyzer we see
fit for a particular purpose... or be put into a database for an extended
workout

In short: I want to obtain an access log for a webserver without getting it
directly from the webserver itself.

I remember being told that somewhere in the belly of Ntop this functionality
exists in some form.

I have not been able to find the functionality so far, though.

How does Ntop fit into the picture?
What parts of my idea can Ntop do?
