Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by slive: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Logs/InternalDummyConnection The comment on the change is: The other suggestion would have created annoying error_log entries ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and then add {{{env=!loopback}}} to the end of your CustomLog directive. - In certain configurations, these requests may hit a heavy-weight dynamic web page and cause unnecessary load on the server. You can prevent the server from processing the requests using another standard configuration: + In certain configurations, these requests may hit a heavy-weight dynamic web page and cause unnecessary load on the server. You can avoid this by using mod_rewrite to respond with a redirect when accessed with that specific User-Agent or IP address. - {{{ - SetEnvIf User-Agent "(internal dummy connection)" dummy - <LocationMatch ^/$> - Order allow,deny - Allow from all - Deny from env=dummy - </LocationMatch> - }}} - If you have other access controls in place, be sure to properly integrate this new control. The above configuration will, by default, override any other access control on the root web page. Also note that this will only work on non-SSL servers, since SSL servers will not be able to read the User-Agent on the request. For SSL servers, use the Remote_Addr as in the logging example. -
