Comment on Weird web server access log entries by Wilo

Thanks ray, that’s helpful to know. The SO question in question (if you see what I mean) is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7334193/nginx-reverse-proxy-many-html-status-code-400-responses-why . Now that I look at it, I realise I made an assumption that it was “yours” on account of it linking to this page for more info. Apologies if that’s incorrect.

Hi Wilo, yes I did find out (after reading around quite a bit) what was causing such access log entries.

Such access log entries mostly appear due to browsers trying to speed up web browsing by initiating/maintaining a connection to the web server in question for a certain time period even when there is no clicking going on. It would occur roughly around the time frame where there was browser activity to the/your site.

This was such an old post! Could you link to my SO question post here? I’m curious

Hi — I came here from your StackOverflow question on this topic. I too have an Nginx reverse proxy with access logs showing lots of records like this. Mine are not against any particular domain — in fact the logs suggest these failed connections only happen when no domain is specified. My own workstation seems to have generated many of them. They don’t seem to be causing any problem for me, but I sure am curious to know what’s going on. Did you ever find out?

I’ve yet to try my hand at creating apps, so I can’t really tell yet

Splunk has resources on that, have you tried taking a look there first?

You’re welcome Took a couple of hours of doing dir() on the different objects before I had a better idea on how to use it, glad it helped heh.

Thanks for giving this snippet! There is a real lack of documentation for the PyDNS module… ;/ Might ask the author if he’ll allow me to modify the docs and contribute nicer documentation.
