New Google visitor

And the 216.239.39's came in two by two

Just reviewed my logs and, late this morning, had an unexpected visitor that I've never seen before i.e. 216.239.39.5 HTTP/1.0 UP.Browser/6.1.0.1.140+(Google+CHTML+Proxy/1.0). Each of four pages was visited twice in succession. It doesn't appear to be freshbot or deepbot but does anyone know what it is?

I think Google operate a WAP proxy for searching using mobile devices - and that looks like a prime candidate for being exactly that.

Take a look at this thread [webmasterworld.com]

Ah yes, that looks very likely. Site isn't ideal for WAP/ mobiles but it's a free world. Thanks Netizen

The wapbot from the other thread had another UA string and other IPs:

UP.Browser/3.1.02-MC01 UP.Link/4.3.3.4 (Google WAP Proxy/1.0)
216.239.35.4
216.239.37.5

This is something else i think. Of course i might be wrong.

Well, actually, it's the i-mode proxy. See this thread [webmasterworld.com]
