Just to clarify: I was talking about centralized HTTP request logging.
If I understand things correctly, jetty-centralized-logging is more
about centralized application level logging with log4j etc?

The ability to have a single RequestLogHandler log to multiple
RequestLogs based on the request (path etc) would be nice though.
Currently, request logging seems to be an all or nothing thing in
Jetty.

Also, RolloverFileOutputStream is a bit limited in that it is
hard-coded to roll daily. It would be useful if it was configurable to
roll weekly, monthly, on a certain size etc.

Looking at RequestLogHandler with friends it seems to be quite a lot
of work to change them to fit my specific needs for this, so it might
be better if I just implement my own request logging for the proxy
server, reusing Jetty's classes wherever it makes sense.

Thanks,
Eirik.
