Anyone Recognize?

Yet another instance of a bot/spider roaming thru my files.

Anyone have any ideas about this one?

Yes Don,

fire2.ic.gc.ca - - [23/Jan/2003:20:56:00 -0800] "HEAD /Museums.html HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "Watchfire WebXM 1.0"

fire2.ic.gc.ca = 198.103.246.96

If I paste "ic.gc.ca" into my browser and preceed it with www, I naturally get http*//www.ic.gc.ca/ Industry Canada.

I am listed with several .ca(s), but nothing gc.ca. much less ic.gc.ca

Went into the site and did some extensive searching and digging around, but every keyword associated with my domain came up empty.

A google on GTIS gets

They have a sister site, perhaps even their main HQ in Germany.

I recall something on this domain whether it was a mail issue or a website issue I cannot recall. Looked in my websites data and have nothing.

the gc.ca likely just a host.

Hopefully somebody else will turn something up.

Thanks for the heads up

Thanks Don,

I'll have to add your last method to my repertoire. <chuckle> Probably the one thing I didn't consider doing. :o

Your investment? <heavy sigh>

Looks like this is one to send to the 403 bucket.

"...your investment.", indeed. <he said with a degree of indignation whilst shaking his head from side-to-side>
