 > Some questions before I begin to distill a small description:
 >
 > It seems the sanitized clean log lines should adhere to the Common Log
 Format:
 > {{{
 > LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"
 > }}}
 >
 > Thus, the sanitized log format will be changed from currently:
 > `0.0.0.0 - - [10/Mar/2017:00:00:00 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 3018 "-"
 "-" -`
 > to
 > `0.0.0.0 - - [10/Mar/2017:00:00:00 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 3018`.
 > Can we agree on this?

 Yes.

 > When parsing all lines with a beginning that doesn't fit the Common Log
 Format are considered unparseable.  Lines with a beginning that matches
 CLF are considered parseable and all trailing content is ignored.

 Yes.

 > POST requests are to be dropped?

 Yes.
