The scanning machines are looking for an open Socks proxy server that they can use to send Spam. As long as your apache config is configured properly, you should be ok. Normally you'll see those when Apache is answering on 3128, 8000, 8080 and you'll see them less frequently if you only answer on port 80, but, it does still happen.
LogLevel error will turn off the warning message in your logs as they are warnings that the connect string they are passing is improperly formed. It does appear that the 200 code is being returned by your application regardless of the request being sent, so, you're not an open proxy server. That 200 response will make bots believe they are getting something successful. You might change the rules slightly to AllowConnect 80 443. Also, the recommendation in that dictionary that the proxy line be changed from Proxy * to Proxy http://www.domain.com/ which would keep invalid requests from hitting the backend. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
