HN is not served by Apache. The Arc source includes the http server.

You know, I specifically checked that before posting. Where I went wrong is that I didn't look at the HTML page itself; I looked at the images and CSS, which I erroneously assumed to be handled by the same program.

All images and CSS for this site are served by Apache but the actual text/html request is not. However - my point still stands, as the primary request is proxied by Apache and proxy requests, IIRC, are included, or can be configured to be included, in the Apache logs.

update: I am going to have to eat my words here. I have no evidence news.ycombinator.com is proxied by Apache. All the css and images are served by Apache, but they're hosted on a different domain and a different IP at ycombinator.com. I am kind of amazed PG wrote an HTTP server but .. apparently he did. Kudos.
