If a request has been forwared to a parent proxy (as in forward or forward-socks4) I'd like to see this parent mentioned in the log, ideally as an extra item in a common log format.

    If you use the forward-override{} action instead of a config file
    directive the action including its parameters (which contain the proxy)
    can be logged by logging the applying actions (debug 65536).

    The syntax is similar, for details see:
    https://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/actions-file.html#FORWARD-OVERRIDE

    When you use the action, the forwarding settings will additionally
    be included in the Connect messages you can enable with "debug 2",
    but this will also result in lots of other messages you may not
    care for.

    The CLF format isn't Privoxy-specific and various tools would
    break if we started to add fields.
