It's not wrong, but it could have been worded better. First, i wrote "server side" instead of "client side", which is just downright wrong. i wasn't referring to the download format, but to the type of request. Requests *always* come from the client, so the direction of the exchange was implicit (to the server as opposed to from the server). > Your downloaded JSON data will not show up in any Apache logs (unless, I > suppose, if you have some kind of ultra-verbose logging turned on that logs i didn't mean to imply that it would. i was only referring to the GET parameters sent from the client. Those get logged.
