But  there  is  EOL  character ('\0'.). If you will use something like
"/index.html?%00xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx propably will not
appear in any logs at all.
so, if I telnet localhost 80:
Trying 127.0.0.1
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /index.html?%00blabla

OK, I get index.html..... but....

# tail /var/log/messages/httpd.access_log
localhost - - [15/Sep/1999:00:09:30 -0300] "GET /usa.html?%00blabla" 200 8944

it does appear. did I missed something, or our assumptions were erroneous?
