That may not be a spider, but Bill's problem is a real one, I get a lot of
awful stuff from bots. A lot of it is due to bots not understanding
relative urls properly and requesting lots of documents that don't exist in
under a minute before giving up.
But on a related issue, I got several logfiles corrupted because I log
user-agents there and some seem to use some unicode names that confuse
Apache and convert to \n. Does anyone else have this problem ? I don't
think it could lead to server compromission, but it's never pleasant to
have corrupted logs...
