Anybody have a clue?

Badly malformed UA with multiple trailing blanks spaces.

157.55.112.zzz - - [06/Mar/2011:10:06:45 -0700] "GET /about.html HTTP/1.1" 403 408 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4325; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30707; MS-RTC LM 8)"

Given that MS has now disowned IE6 as being a liability and no longer supported, should we not be blocking all IE6 UAs? :)

Maybe that's what this hit is about? MS testing to see our reaction. On the other hand, too subtle for MS?

I still use IE6 (at least when I'm required an MS-Browser, which isn't too often), and refuse to upgrade.

This request was a single page request, no refer, no images, no robots.

The 403 was a result of the malformed UA.
