Modifiers

Particular items can be restricted to print only for responses with specific HTTP status
codes by placing a comma-separated list of status codes immediately following the "%". For
example, "%400,501{User-agent}i" logs User-agent on 400 errors and 501 errors only. For
other status codes, the literal string "-" will be logged. The status code list may be
preceded by a "!" to indicate negation: "%!200,304,302{Referer}i" logs Referer on all
requests that do not return one of the three specified codes.

The modifiers "<" and ">" can be used for requests that have been internally redirected to
choose whether the original or final (respectively) request should be consulted. By
default, the % directives %s, %U, %T, %D, and %r look at the original request while all
others look at the final request. So for example, %>s can be used to record the final
status of the request and %<u can be used to record the original authenticated user on a
request that is internally redirected to an unauthenticated resource.
