Thanks Ben - but I don't see how that can be the case : $ netstat -nautp | grep http tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 3271/httpd tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 3271/httpd But I use a self-signed certificate which most browsers think is invalid until they add an exception . There is nothing security sensitive on my home website . And I can 'openssl s_client connect $MY_HOST:443 -CAfile $my_server_cert' from an external internet host . I just don't think that "non-requests" should appear at all in the access log, since they involve no accesses .
