I serve static files with Lighttpd and on every request I would like to log the MAC address of the client. For this I have been trying to use the mod_accesslog with a pipe logger, like this on the lighttpd.conf:

accesslog.filename = '|/path/to/python/script.py'

I pretend to execute the script that gets the MAC address and then write to a log.

Currently I'm getting a Lighttpd error: 

2018-05-17 21:37:22: (mod_accesslog.c.180) writing access log entry failed: |/path/to/python/script.py Broken pipe

And the logging directory (which contains the python script) has the following permissions:

drwxrwsr-x 2 root www-data 4096 May 17 21:36 log

Also, if anyone knows, what is the format in which the parameters are passed to the (python) script? In case what I'm trying to do is possible.

There are no parameters to piped loggers. lighttpd writes each log line to a pipe and the piped logger reads the line on stdin.

BTW, I don't know why you are trying to log the MAC, or from where you think you're going to obtain it.
