It's not quite that bad, fortunately! The project's going to be rolled
out to multiple servers though - proxied behind Apache - and we have
Apache configured to log the headers for other uses. Something like:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"
%D %{X-UPPERCASE-TEST}o" combined
It'd have been easier to add an option to CherryPy, but changing a few
servers' configs isn't too much of a hassle compared with writing
middleware or a proxy. Bit more elegant, too!
Cheers,
Nick
