Hi:

Just noticed this little bugger last night. Went through ALL my IP's, one by one... (Luckily, I have a spider trap for this, too!)

Here is a bit from the log:

[Tue May 20 08:38:23 2003] [error] access to /Path/to/public_html failed for 218.63.199.179, reason: Bad Agent: Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600

#Whoops- that is error log... here is access log:

218.63.199.179 - - [20/May/2003:09:09:55 -0600] "OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1" 403 - "-" "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600"

Anyone know what that OPTIONS is?

Did not hit too fast- once every couple seconds, but is pretty darn percistent!

Anyone know what that OPTIONS is?

OPTIONS is a request type that asks the host server to reply with a list of allowable request types.

OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1 
Host: www.example.com 
Connection: close 
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)

HTTP/1.1 200 OK 
Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 16:28:59 GMT 
Server: Apache/1.3.27 
Content-Length: 0 
Allow: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, CONNECT, OPTIONS, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, UNLOCK, TRACE 
Connection: close

So- probably looking for a security hole?
