Path 'CONNECT' is forbidden ??

Guest

Hi everyone,

Every now and then I'm receiving the error posted below. I"m routing all my
traffic through mod_proxy (apache) to my asp.net 2.0 (w2k3) machine. I can't
reproduce this error and my site appears fine through my browser. I'm
wondering if it is a search bot that is making these requests. Anyways, I
can't find anything on google about this particular message. Any ideas
greatly appreciated!!

Well...to possibly answer my question, I did find some information that said
that apache supports a connect verb, mainly used as a (http tunnelling) hack
to try and send SPAM. Hopefully it is just random spamming attempts.
Incidentally, IIS6 doesn't support the 'CONNECT' protocol - and so is not
vulnerable to this.

Just lifted from another page, no idea if it is actually true.
