  A port *scan* involves multiple connect() calls (which may
or may not succeed), to multiple ports and/or multiple addresses.
The connections thus established are not actually used to render 
the service for which the port(s) accept connections.

  Distinguishing between a web client access and a port scan 
isn't so hard.  Why must you pretend they're indistinguishable?
