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 .

All the best,
Jason
