Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 7. The CDF (Channel Definition Format) is obsolete and should not be used.

This element must occur before any ITEM elements in the CDF file.

The LOGTARGET's domain must be the same as the CDF file's domain. The log file can only be sent to the domain that served the channel. This is to prevent providers from tracking the client's use of other provider's sites.

Examples

This example shows how to specify where to send a CDF client page-hit log file.

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