You could use -F flag as follows:
-F format
Specify the log format used. If no format is specified
the default log format is used. Currently it is:
...
%{X}i The contents of request header X.
....
AFAIK you can't log conditionally as you ask, but in order to use
AWStats, a custom log seems enough for you.
Kind regards.
