[plug] strange GET requests

[Jon Miller]

Thanks for that, however the person (s) that did the initial setup are no longer working here. 
It's been a battle trying to find out where the packets are coming from and where to stop them.  Will give this a go and hopefully it'll stop the proxy.

Ermm...do you mean how to turn off the *feature*? Well, that will depend
on your system and would be contingent on details such as WHAT WEB
SERVER IS SERVING THE REQUESTS????????? For Apache 1 and 2, what you did
should be fine -- though you might want to inquire with the person who
went and turned the feature on in the first place. You could also remove
Apache's mod_proxy, if you want to prevent admins from turning the
feature on in future. However, mod_proxy might have been compiled into
your server and cannot be removed without recompiling or installing a
different package.  Most people would find it sufficient to replace the
line like this (in httpd.conf):

LoadModule proxy_module       /usr/apache/libexec/libproxy.so
AddModule mod_proxy.c

with:

#Note from Jon Miller 2003-09-14: DO NOT enable mod_proxy
#LoadModule proxy_module       /usr/apache/libexec/libproxy.so
#AddModule mod_proxy.c
