Firewall / visited websites logger

Question

Hi.

I have a firewall implementation and I want to log all the websites visited on the machine. So when the user enters an address in the browser(any browser) or clicks a link to be able to log the visited address. The problem is that I want to log only the visited address and NOT the other resources requested by the page (ads, iframes, Google stats and so on). Is there a method to do this by looking at the HTTP or TCP headers? Or any other method.

Thank you.

A possible method would be to use "transparent proxying" : Have the firewall automatically transfer all out-bound HTTP connections to a proxy. You'll find the desired information in the proxy's log.
