Explanation

  1. This is the host name (or IP address) associated with the requester (you as the visitor). In this case, (… .com) the requester is coming from a commercial address. Depending on the requestor's method of network connection, the host name (or IP address) may or may not identify a specific computer. Connections via many Internet Service Providers assign different IP addresses for each session, so the host name identifies only the ISP. The host name (or IP address) will identify a specific computer if that computer has a fixed IP address.
  2. This is the date and time of the request.
  3. This is the location of the requested file.
  4. This is the status code – 200 is OK – the request was filed.
