corp.google.com was looking for that...

This hit my https site today:

104.132.61.82 0
404
HEAD /.well-known/change-password
Python-httplib2/0.9.2

The IP is AS41264 (Google LLC)
corpnat-104-132-61-82.corp.google.com

More info about that type of request is here: [news.ycombinator.com...]

If you have that on your site I can't see why you'd want google to index it. But then again this wasn't exactly googlebot, - not sure what it is...

Python-httplib2/0.9.2

the user agent string is from the python programming library http client.

corpnat-104-132-61-82.corp.google.com

this isn't from the range used by google's crawlers.

most likely someone at google is using a password manager written in python.
it's unlikely to be anything related to google search.

"Python-httplib" is in my .htaccess as a DENY ... guess I'll have to investigate my 403s in the logs to see if this particular one has hit.
