2.8 Connect-Time Log
The purpose of the Connect-Time Log is to specify some minimal amount of logging information about the client. It can be useful in cases where a client starts to stream (2) some content but is disconnected from the network before it has the opportunity to create a Streaming Log.
If a client sends a Connect-Time Log to the server at the start of the streaming session, the Connect-Time Log ensures that the server has received at least this minimal logging information in the case where the client subsequently is disconnected from the network.
Connect-Time Logs are not defined for web servers. Connect-Time Logs are defined only in XML format, and the ABNF syntax is as follows.
-
connect-time-log = "<XML>" "<Summary>" "</Summary>" "<c-dns>" c-dns "</c-dns>" "<c-ip>" c-ip "</c-ip>" "<c-os>" c-os "</c-os>" "<c-osversion>" c-osversion "</c-osversion>" "<date>" date "</date>" "<time>" time "</time>" "<c-cpu>" c-cpu "</c-cpu>" "<transport>" transport "</transport>" "</XML>" c-ip = "0.0.0.0"
