If you're going to ask for robots.txt, you could at least use it BEFORE spidering (non-existent) dirs and files --

08:55:05 ... /iphone
08:55:06 ... /touch
08:55:07 ... /apple-touch-icon.png
08:55:08 ... /robots.txt

-- unless you're into crawling/causing 404s, that is. Hrrmph.

FWIW:

In Fall, 2005, "pat-tdc.opera.com" was a development server: "Opera Attack on Cryptome Was Opera Rogue Bot [cryptome.info]"

I allowed the link because I thought the insights into Opera's response, albeit a tad old, we're interesting as it just goes to show how anything can go unintentionally wrong and have the intent be misinterpreted by webmasters.
