Better HTTP Logging

http_handler: a better http log handler

The HTTP log handler that comes with Python's standard lib is too complex for too few features. This one uses urllib.request for a simpler and more capable implementation.

It also tries to format the log record a bit more intelligently.

Features

• Supports HTTPS
• Supports Basic Authentication
• User and password are specified using user:pass@host.domain

HTTP-to-Syslog bridge

This module allows you to forward messages delivered over a HTTP POST request to a remote syslog server.

Key Features

• Messages are forwarded almost unmodified to syslog.
• No https or auth whatsoever. Handle that with a real proxy server.

Usage

The server can be run standalone, using the wsgiref module or you can write a small scrip to import the app into uWSGI or something of the sort.
