Problem

Access-log lines arrive with ragged whitespace: fields run together under uneven spacing and stray leading or trailing gaps. Break each `line` into its whitespace-separated fields, keeping only the real tokens, and hand back an empty list when a line holds nothing but whitespace.

Summary

Every record hides its fields behind noise. Pull the real ones loose.
