AFAIK, Analog counts all requests regardless of protocol. If someone come to
your site, hits it with an 'If-Modified-Since' header and chooses to pull it
from the local cache instead, don't you want to count that as a hit? Since
headers are recorded, Analog can't know if it was an HTTP/1.1 GET request or an
HTTP/1.1 GET If-Modified-Since request.

In the case of these two, the status codes distinguish the response. The first
sent the full page (2012 bytes) and the second sent a 302-Found (temporary
redirection). This should have no relationship to the HTTP version.

Analog can also read a 304-Not Modified response (usually sent by a GET request
with If-Modified-Since header when the file is not modified). By default, it
treats these as successful requests. This can be changed with the 304ISSUCCESS
command. See docs/include.html#304.
