Evening folks, I have pretty high expectations for the Refresh Austin list whenever I have a tough question, but I might have found one stump-worthy.
A couple months ago I started seeing requests in my web server access log for "/ombudsman". I don't have an Ombudsman page, so it returned a 404. Digging a little deeper, the same IP was repeatedly searching for the same set of non-existent pages on my site: /about/privacypolicy.html /about/termsofuse.html /audiohelp/progstream.html /blogs /corrections /email /help /help/communityfaq.html /music /ombudsman /podcast After a bit more digging, I realized that it wasn't coming from just one IP address. Turns out there are dozens of IP addresses all requesting the same non-existent URLs. Each IP is scattered across the globe without any common thread. The only user-agent listed in each request is a member of the "Java/1.6.0" family. I am 100% stumped on this one. All Googling for community-sourced Java-based search spiders comes up completely empty. Any thoughts? Solve this and I'll buy you a beer on Tuesday.
