Well, if the web server is Apache, *some* of this info is logged in Apache's 
logs, which are usually stored in /var/log/httpd/, but not all of the 
information is logged, unless the web page code implements logging of its own. 
Apache logs HTTP accesses generally in /var/log/httpd/access_log and when 
there are errors, will log errors in /var/log/httpd/error_log.  If the access 
was a GET with a CGI parameter string (with a URL that ends with 
?parameter=val&parameter=val...).  Apache won't log the data associated by a 
POST request.
