/**
 * An implementation of the W3c Extended Log File Format. See
 * http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-logfile.html for more information about the format.
 *
 * The following fields are supported:
 * 

 * 
c-dns:  Client hostname
 * 
c-ip:  Client ip address
 * 
bytes:  bytes served
 * 
cs-method:  request method
 * 
cs-uri:  The full uri requested
 * 
cs-uri-query:  The query string
 * 
cs-uri-stem:  The uri without query string
 * 
date:  The date in yyyy-mm-dd  format for GMT
 * 
s-dns: The server dns entry 
 * 
s-ip:  The server ip address
 * 
cs(XXX):  The value of header XXX from client to server
 * 
sc(XXX): The value of header XXX from server to client 
 * 
sc-status:  The status code
 * 
time:  Time the request was served
 * 
time-taken:  Time (in seconds) taken to serve the request
 * 
x-A(XXX): Pull XXX attribute from the servlet context 
 * 
x-C(XXX): Pull the first cookie of the name XXX 
 * 
x-O(XXX): Pull the all response header values XXX 
 * 
x-R(XXX): Pull XXX attribute from the servlet request 
 * 
x-S(XXX): Pull XXX attribute from the session 
 * 
x-P(...):  Call request.getParameter(...)
 *                             and URLencode it. Helpful to capture
 *                             certain POST parameters.
 * 
 * 
For any of the x-H(...) the following method will be called from the
 *                HttpServletRequestObject 
 * 
x-H(authType): getAuthType 
 * 
x-H(characterEncoding): getCharacterEncoding 
 * 
x-H(contentLength): getContentLength 
 * 
x-H(locale):  getLocale
 * 
x-H(protocol): getProtocol 
 * 
x-H(remoteUser):  getRemoteUser
 * 
x-H(requestedSessionId): getGequestedSessionId
 * 
x-H(requestedSessionIdFromCookie):
 *                  isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie 
 * 
x-H(requestedSessionIdValid):
 *                  isRequestedSessionIdValid
 * 
x-H(scheme):  getScheme
 * 
x-H(secure):  isSecure
 * 
 *
 *
 *
 * 

 * Log rotation can be on or off. This is dictated by the rotatable
 * property.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * For UvNIX users, another field called checkExistsis also
 * available. If set to true, the log file's existence will be checked before
 * each logging. This way an external log rotator can move the file
 * somewhere and tomcat will start with a new file.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * For JMX junkies, a public method called rotate has
 * been made available to allow you to tell this instance to move
 * the existing log file to somewhere else start writing a new log file.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Conditional logging is also supported. This can be done with the
 * condition property.
 * If the value returned from ServletRequest.getAttribute(condition)
 * yields a non-null value. The logging will be skipped.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * For extended attributes coming from a getAttribute() call,
 * it is you responsibility to ensure there are no newline or
 * control characters.
 *
