Information Collected from the SRTS Homepage for Statistical Purposes
Below is an example of the information collected based on a standard
request for a World Wide Web document:
xxx.yyy.com - - [28/Oct/19999:00:00:01 -0500] "GET /download/clinic1.exe
HTTP/1.0" 200 16704 Mozilla 3.0/www.altavista.digital.com
xxx.yyy.com (or 123.123.23.12)
This is the host name (or IP address) associated with the requester (you as the visitor). In this
case, (....com) the requester is coming from a commercial address. Depending
on the requester’s method of network connection, the host name (or IP address)
may or may not identify a specific computer. Connections via many Internet
Service Providers assign different IP addresses for each session, so the
host name identifies only the ISP. The host name (or IP address) will identify
a specific computer if that computer has a fixed IP address.
