But 1/ I'd like the validation to be as strict as possible (as you said, I expect Apache to be a bit lenient with its clients) and 2/ I'd like to have the report with useful information in case of failure to be sent in response to the request, instead of having to give the client the right to dig into the logs on the server.

One hates to say it but
 
All current Windows systems have an object that does this
 
http.sys
 
Http.sys can be used by an application using HTTP (if one wishes to use http.sys), and all these apps can use the same IP / Port (or not).
 
One can read the http.sys error log with Log Parser like this
 
LogParser.exe "SELECT * FROM HTTPERR"
 
I will soon have an Apache post where one will using the Windows .NET automation toool,
PowerShell (like sed, bash, and perl but dealing with complete objects instead of only text),
to check the http.sys error log. One will be able to compare these http.sys's error times to
the times within the Apache access log and the Apache error log. This will also demo "finding
same time" log actions for possible trouble checking of Apache.
