funny request for robots.txt

error or on purpose?

[the_nerd]

slurp left this in my logfile:

http:/www.mydomain.com/robots.txt

Any Idea why they would want to get my robots.txt with a wrong protocol?

Was it for sure genuine article?

[Pfui]

Slurp's been a bit sloppy lately --

Naughty Yahoo User Agents
[webmasterworld.com...]

-- but I've never seen it use a domain in a request. Echoing engine, more info would help, like the full UA, and the Host/IP, etc.

(The linked thread includes lots of UAs and such, including Slurp.)
