Another odd thing I've run into with the following code (run as a
PythonLogHandler):

def log(req):
        f = open('/var/www/apache2-default/out.txt','a')
        con = req.connection
        con_data = con.read(-1)

        f.write("""
Log
hn: %s - bs: %s - cl: %s - rl: %s
--- Connection Data -- len(%s) ---
%s
""" % (  req.hostname,
         req.bytes_sent,
         req.clength,
         req.read_length,
         len(con_data),
         con_data))
        f.close()
        return apache.OK

When I hit a site with Firefox/Mozilla con_data contains all the
incoming headers, but when I wget the same data con_data is empty.
