Up to 2.2.x, there was not much difference between server scope and request scope logging. I suspect that the original intention was just to omit the referrer which is appended in request scope. I don't see any reason why request scope logging should not work for the quick handler. Probably all the per-directory log configuration will be ignored when using the quick handler, but IMHO that's just something that needs to be documented. > Hoping that someone who knows the logging stuff better than I do > can confirm, because I'd like to use ap_log_rerror() across the > board if I can. +1, because that would allow to use some of the new features, like correlating error log and access log entries via the log id.
