In combination with + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code>, this + allows for flexible control of access to the server based on + characteristics of the client. For example, you can use these + directives to deny access to a particular browser (User-Agent). + </p> + + + <h3><a name="logging" id="logging">Conditional Logging</a></h3> + + + <p>Environment variables can be logged in the access log using + the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> + option <code>%e</code>. In addition, the decision on whether + or not to log requests can be made based on the status of + environment variables using the conditional form of the + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code> + directive.
