I've been faced the the following symptoms for some time. I have links coded as :post or :put, so I can make sure that bots aren't hitting particular links.
But it something is either hitting them as :get through an error I've made (like link_to not working well in some browsers?), or there's 1 or more plugins that pre load urls; or I have scrapers. Each day I'll get 50-100 error messages - where routes aren't found - of this nature. When I get many of these hits from the same ip address, I usually assume a scraper, then block that ip address...but I don't want to do this in very case if it's possible that a legimate (pre-loader browser plugin) is causing this to happen. Does anybody else this kind of behaviour? How do you handle it? thanks.
