\\n in a referer string

[Marino]

Hello,

Found that in a referer string from a recurrent spammer :

"Mozilla/4.0 \\nAccept: */* \\nAccept-Language: en-us, en, de;q=0.50"

Not that frequent, though...

looks as it is, and Googlebot seems to be
the biggest referrer-log spammer we have :-)

licats.com is a Web-Archiv and traffic-costs
to give search-engines something to eat are
very high. We all spending money for traffic
and eating traffic as well...

just a quick note. an old type of a DOS attack is a request for yoursite.com//////////////////////////

which will make your server to resolve the url piece by piece till it crashes
