Not sending anything will not pop you out of an accept() on *BSD where
an HTTP accept filter is active:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=accf_http

This is the only way to make it work on all platforms.  The preferred
fix is of course to not need it at all.  But that has other difficulties
with the current listener model.

One solution is to look at supporting SSL in the loopback hack client,
just so things get logged correctly.

Well, we can't just ignore them, since then an attacker could use them,
and the default config wouldn't log them. (Yes, Ugh).

So, this is all in bugzilla already:
