    Description

      This module introduces a new log file couch_access.log in the spirit of
      Apache httpd's access.log.

      The log format is specified here:

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Log_Format

      The module defaults to the more commonly used `extended` format,
      but can be configured to use the standard log format as well.

      This is a new module rather than an extension to the couch_log
      module to allow easy addition. Ideally, this will be a plugin in the future.

      A note for chunked responses, the response body length reported is
      "chunked" rather than the number of bytes. The case is unspecified
      in the format description. Maybe the fix is keeping track of bytes
      sent in a chunked response, but I didn't want to make the first stab
      at this more complicated that it has to be. I'm happy to adjust.

      I'm not proposing this to be added to 1.1.x, but if anybody wants it, there's a patch here:

      https://github.com/janl/couchdb/commit/508af053257c074ec37c9bd658479cc21b8d20d4

      (The only difference is the specification of the couch_access_log module on startup, as that
      moved from couch_server_sup.erl to couch_primary_services.erl)
