Below is an example of the information collected based on a standard request for a World Wide Web document: 123.123.23.12 HTTP/1.1 - GET 200 [25/Feb/2020:10:54:03 -0500] - /index.html 123.123.23.12 - this is the IP address associated with the requester (you as the visitor). Depending on the requester's method of network connection, the IP address may or my not identify a specific computer. Connections via many Internet Service Providers assign different IP addresses for each session, so the IP address identifies only the ISP. The IP address will identify a specific computer if that computer has a fixed IP address. [28/Feb/2012:13:36:40 -0400] - this is a date and time of the request "/index.html" - this is the location of the requested file on the web site Requests for other types of documents use similar information.
