in thread FTP from web pages

That would be a case to write in a separate logging function then. But for remote IP, filename, result code, and I believe size, the default Apache log has all of these.

Also, why would you write a HTTP CGI for FTP? Why not just send the file out via HTTP, this alleviates the overhead needed for FTP.

    Having a CGI to go to FTP could be used for load balancing or choosing the FTP server closest to you.
      You can do this with webservers can't you? If you have geographically mirrored content, then you can use HTTP or FTP - it doesn't matter.

      That's my $0.02 worth - I am only saying this because it's becoming a popular phrase around here.
