Determining which user dowloaded which book and when.

petermj · 01-12-2018, 04:34 PM

I'm writing a python app to parse through the access log and produce a list of who downloaded which books and when.

It used to be that the user, as well as the incoming URL, was in the log. Currently I only see the URL, which is of much lesser use.

I am able to get the book name from the bookID accessing the DB and the date and time from the log entry. But nothing in the log points to the user (that I can see).

So my question really is: How can I figure this out? Is there a way to customize the access log to include the user who downloaded the book?

Running calibre-server 3.14 on Windows 7.

Thanks for your help.

No the user is not present in the log, but it should not be too hard to add, open a ticket for it so I dont forget.
