Problem

Raw access-log lines come in with inconsistent spacing: some fields are padded with extra spaces, and lines often carry leading or trailing whitespace. Break each `line` into its space-separated fields, dropping the empty gaps so only the real tokens remain, and return an empty list when the line holds nothing but whitespace.

Summary

Raw lines arrive padded and uneven. Recover the fields that matter.
