The following page has been changed by slive: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Logs/InternalDummyConnection ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ === Requests From the Server to Itself === - When the Apache HTTP Server manages its child processes, it needs to a way to wake up processes that are listening for new connections. To do this, it sends a simple HTTP request back to itself. This request will appear in the access_log file with the remote address set to the loop-back interface (typically 127.0.0.1 or ::1 if IPv6 is configured). If you log the User-Agent string (as in the combined log format), you will see the server signature followed by "{{{(Internal Dummy Connection)}}}" on non-SSL servers. During certain periods you may see up to one such request for each {{{httpd}}} child process. + When the Apache HTTP Server manages its child processes, it needs to a way to wake up processes that are listening for new connections.

If you log the User-Agent string (as in the combined log format), you will see the server signature followed by "{{{(internal dummy connection)}}}" on non-SSL servers. During certain periods you may see up to one such request for each {{{httpd}}} child process. These requests are perfectly normal and you do not, in general, need to worry about them. They can simply be ignored.
