RE: Android device ID not show on access_log

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



FYI:  On my DroidX, I have found that the User-Agent sent to apache is different based upon which browser on Android that you use:

Firefox produces:
   "Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0"

The built-in browser produces:

    "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.4; en-us; DROIDX Build/4.5.1_57_DX8-51) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1"

	I use the same version of HTTPD.   MY log files, when I include that
	element in the LogFormat, present the entire string of the user agent
	(not a fragment in the middle like you're describing).   Are you
	examining the actual log files, or are you looking at something
	that has been run through a log file interpreter of some sort, since
	you're not only reporting not seeing the "device id" but also seem to
	suggest the user agent information logged doesn't have the prefixing
	"Mozilla/5.0" you're cited in your client side header.

	OR do you possibly have an intervening proxy or something that's
	replacing the User Agent being passed -- where does this
	"stagefright/1.2" you're citing come from instead of "Mozilla/5.0"?

	e.g., here's one of my log file entries for an Android client (edited
	to obscure privacy info and wrapped into xx lines to fit reasonable
	platen widths):

XX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [29/Nov/2012:22:21:36 -0500]
	"GET /cgi-bin/fizzbin.php?card=qhears HTTP/1.1" 302 349
		"http://xxx.yyy.zzz/cgi-bin/ssredirpg?D=BCT";
			"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; SGH-T999
				Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like
					Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile
						Safari/534.30"

	As you can see, Device ID is there in the raw log file.  My LogFormat
	directive is as follows (again, wrapped for clarity):

LogFormat
     "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
