Example

In the following example, a PURGETIME element and HTTP-EQUIV element are nested inside a LOGTARGET element. The example shows how to specify the maximum age of valid page hits—in this case, 12 hours.

<LOGTARGET
      HREF="http://www.joyware.tld/logging"
      METHOD="POST"
      SCOPE="OFFLINE">
   <PURGETIME
         HOUR="12"/>
   <HTTP-EQUIV
         NAME="ENCODING-TYPE"
         VALUE="gzip"/>
</LOGTARGET>
