    Hello Everyone,

    I am getting error 404 messages about someone trying to access www.domainname.com:2082/frontend/x/stats/

    The request is the above URL, but the actual errors are image files that don't exist. What is this?

    I'm getting many errors (a set) from one ip address, then a several hours later, it's from another ip address. Should I worry?

    Is this a case of attempted referrer spam?

    Just in case this helps, the error log only has time, ip address, and targeted page. I have a custom error page that sends me an email when an error is reached. Here is some of it.

    ***********************
    Requested URL: /unprotected/images/top_03_1.gif
    Referring URL: http://www.domainname.com:2082/frontend/x/stats/
    Requesting IP: 70.119.246.177
    Request Method: GET
    Requester Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10)
    Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
    **********************

    The requested urls are many, and mostly image files, but the requested url reads like someone has accessed a page that was making the requests for the nonexistent image files.

    I find it strange, and wonder if anyone else see this?

    thx,

    tom
