[users@httpd] A HARD ONE: Restricting access.log to contain only passwd protected docs

[taxali <ta...@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,
I'm using Apache 1.3.19 on a Windows 2000 box to host an intranet site. I would like to restrict what is logged in access.log. Specifically, I only want to log those requests that attempt to access authenticated resources, ie password protected documents.
 
I've tried using multiple SetEnvIf commands but none seem to work:

SetEnvIf Remote_User "-" dontlog
or
SetEnvIf Remote_User "" dontlog
or
SetEnvIf Remote_User "^\w" dontlog
 
followed by ->
 
CustomLog logs/access.log common env=!dontlog

All these seem to print out every request!!
Any help will be much appreciated
 
Thanks.

I have some vague recolection of a problem with mod_setenvif and
remote_user in some version of apache.  1.3.19 is very old, especially for
the less-mature windows version.  I'd try upgrading first.
