This bot changes all my uppercase letters to lowercase making 404's.

Does anyone know who it is ? I have looked but could not find anything.

nslookup 212.30.114.9
Canonical name: 9massy1-1-sv-cache-1.9tel.net
Addresses: 212.30.114.9

If it is a spider it's probably homemade. Oddly enough, I get a 500 error when I go to [212.30.114.9...]

There is a mod_rewrite solution for handling case sensitive URLs. This would help to prevent future 404 errors.

Seems to be from a french telco called 9telecom.

Thanks all, will look into the mod rewrite for the upper/lower case.

It seems to come around a fair but so I was curious where it was coming from.

Thanks

Just to come back to this as this bot has just created 500 404's in 3 minutes which is a pretty fast bot.

I am always concerned about blocking bots etc.

Does anyone know if this is a French Search Engine ? or anything else ?

As said, the spider is registered by a french telco. They also have a search engine here [9online.fr], so I guess there must be a spider around which could be the one visiting your site.
