Winsock Proxy Logging Limited in Comparison to Web Proxy (163696)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0
- Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q163696 SUMMARY
The Web Proxy logs more detailed information than the Winsock Proxy does.
For example, the Web Proxy logs the file being accessed, while the Winsock
Proxy only logs the client and the site visited.
MORE INFORMATION
The Web Proxy can get more information from the HTTP protocol because
more information is provided by the proxy clients (browsers, and HTTP
clients like Pointcast) that tell the client how to deal with a
proxy.
In contrast, the Winsock Proxy can only find out the client and site
visited (all of the information that an application provides via
Winsock API).
Two levels of logging are available for Microsoft Proxy Server,
regular and verbose. For a complete list of field names used in logging
please refer to the Microsoft Proxy Server documentation.
