[det]http_log_close(+Reason)

If there is a currently open HTTP logfile, close it after adding a term server(Reason, Time). to the logfile. This call is intended for cooperation with the Unix logrotate facility using the following schema:

Move logfile (the HTTP server keeps writing to the moved file)
Inform the server using an HTTP request that calls http_log_close/1
Compress the moved logfile
