[squid-users] Reverse proxying and application logging

Hi all,

I've been wrestling with the following challenge for a while now, and
haven't been able to come up with an adequate solution.

The problem is that I've got a dynamic website which uses Squid as a
reverse proxy to reduce load. So far so good - works like a charm. The
problem is, the logs as generated by Squid miss 2 types of information:
1) POST variables and 2) application logging info (how we generated this
response).

The solution to my problem as I see it would be to have Squid log
whatever it can, have the application log whatever it can, and then
de-duplicate those results, and where Squid reports a cache hit use the
web server information from the original request. The problem is that it
will be very hard to do this de-duplication in a decent way...

... and I actually want the log results, the statistics to be processes
& be visible in realtime.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Erwin Wessels
