Hi

Is this possible to log username and password passed by GET request for basic authentication?

I generate link to some part of my website by http://user:pass@myserver.com/secretcontent

It works without any problems for 90% users but some of them got information that there is password mismatch.

So I would like to log all request with information about passed login and password in text plain.

Regards

You can log the Authorization header in the access log.

add to your LogFormat line in httpd.conf:
%{Authorization}i

When a user logs in you will see this in your access log

::1 - fred [22/Jan/2015:15:46:32 -0800] "GET /protected/ HTTP/1.1" 200 681 "Basic ZnJlZDpmbGludFN0b25l"

the ZnJlZDpmbGludFN0b25l is the username:password encoded in base64, just decode it. If you decode the one above, it will decode to:

fred:flintStone ... flintStone being the password
