One browser UA visit from each range, different times, normal behavior. Last request from each instance used "Test Certificate Info" and was blocked because of my server config:

HEAD /https://www.example.com

However, if this security was not in place, root files would be accessible.

HEAD /https://www.example.com

Is this happening at sites that actually are https, or is it hitting http sites attempting to find out if an https exists?

[CynicalRaver23]

All of my companies sites are HTTPS, but I do not think that matters.

Its supposed to pull information about the SSL cert of the website it goes to, but apparently the person who copied the code from a MSDN article missed the second / and so now it errors out.

Thanks keyplyr. Have been checking this forum for about 2 months now and this thread finally convinced me to sign up.

Thank you for editing my Ranges, I wasnt sure if I should be putting the whole range as I was only hit from 1 IP out of the range, but will do so in future.

@CynicalRaver23 - thanks.

Yes, we stick to posting ranges only. Probably not troublesome when the IP belongs to a server farm or data center, but when the IP is from an ISP, these are individual computer addresses and that is personal sensitive information.
