Re: [tlug] Apache: Logging: how-to pipe logs or log toanothermachine (was Disk

["Jean-Christian Imbeault" <jean_christian@example.com>]

For those of you interested ...

It seems thats piping apache logs to gzip on the fly using the CustomLog 
directive is a bug in the apache documentation. The person who wrote that 
part of the docs didn't test it out.

It's been submitted as a bug to apache.

Come to think of it, it kind of makes sense that gzip can't be used for on 
the fly compression. If I understand zipping, the program needs to have a  
look at the whole data before figuring out how to  best compress the data.

With a log being continuously written out, gzip can't really do anything ...

But if I am wrong in my understanding zipping please let me know and maybe I 
can figure out how to pipe a continuous stream to zip.
