Is there a way to log request (full GET URI, response and POST data and response) content with Apache? I have a bunch of games that communicate with the client side over HTTP, they use different variables and output all sorts of things.
I'd like to push all this content into a database for further processing so I can report game play step by step. Cannot modify the server side game files themselves to log this data, they're too many (thousands).
It's not much data, up to 512 bytes or 1K per of both request and response data.
Can't set up a varnish or squid to do it, I have lots of back-end servers, can't add yet another layer to this, I have a load of stuff happening before the app servers (load balancing, firewall, whatnot).
TIA

In Linux, Apache commonly writes logs to the /var/log/apache2 or /var/log/httpd directories depending on your OS and Virtual Host overrides. You can also define a LogFormat string after the filename, which will only apply the format string to this file.
Open your /etc/apache2/apache2. conf file and place the line above below the other LogFormat lines. It will produce access log entries with the following details: %t : date and time of the request.
The default is to use syslog facility local7 , but you can override this by using the syslog: facility syntax where facility can be one of the names usually documented in syslog(1).
mod_dumpio will get it into a file.
