To add new top-level domains to http-analyze, just install an up-to-date TLD file. Since release of http-analyze 2.4, some country domains have been changed and the new generic top-level-domains .asia, .tel and .travel have been added. See our List of Top-Level-Domains for more information.
Developement of http-analyze started in 1996 as a statistics tool for the former website www.sgi.de, which was built by RENT-A-GURU®. Since other partners and customers also requested a server statistics tool, the first public version of http-analyze numbered 1.9 appeared in early 1997 and has been replaced since then by 2.5 today. http-analyze reached a high quality standard and reliable long-term operation on servers with just one website as well as on huge website farms.
Usage of http-analyze
http-analyze is best utilized by running on the same machine the web server is running on. This means that the webmaster/administrator of the web service (not the end-user) should install http-analyze and configure it to be executed automatically on a regular base, for example once or twice per day. Although you could use the software on your own machine to process a logfile from elsewhere, this is not the recommended usage, since you would have to transfer the logfile to your computer first and then to execute http-analyze manually to create a statistics report. However, if you really want to do so, it is possible at least.
Supported logfile formats
http-analyze processes logfiles in NCSA Common Logfile Format (CLF) and in the W3CExtended Logfile Formats (ELF) which is used by almost all modern web servers except Microsoft's IIS, which uses a proprietary logfile format. For IIS we provide a perl script to convert logfiles in IIS (proprietary) format into standardized W3C ELF format. See the manpage of http-analyze and your server's documentation for more information about customizing the server's logfile format. The analyzer recognizes HTTP 1.1 server responses.
