Hello all developers,

I've been using your syslog-ng for including our software package of log management system. I'm trying its version 1.6.0rc1 and libol-0.3.9, and I'll also try the newest version later.

I found that syslog-ng can not handle some characters well when the syslog-ng receives logs by tcp. I tested this problem only by tcp, but I think that other sources might cause this problem.

I send the log message by tcp the follows:

----- 192.168.254.111 - - [22/Apr/2003:14:30:30 +0900] "GET /~sugimura/ HTTP/1.0" 200 3448 "-" "-" -----

You know, this log was created by apache.

When syslog-ng receives this log, it writes down with extra escape sequences as the follows:

----- 192.168.254.111 - - [22/Apr/2003:14:30:30 +0900] \"GET /~sugimura/ HTTP/1.0\" 200 3448 \"-\" \"-\" -----

I think syslog-ng can not handle these kind of characters which defined by C language strings, which are ', ", \, and so on.

Would you please check and fix this problem?

turn escaping off, file d_apache { file("/var/log/access.log" template("$MSG\n") template_escape(no)); }; -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
