Author What does this mean in the apache 1.3x log files?

What kind of request would show up like this in the apache (1.3x) log
files?

<host> <ip addresss> - - [01/Feb/2006:14:28:56 +0000] "-" 408 - "-" "-"

Status 408 is request timeout. On a server I am looking at we had 39
identical requests in 1 second.... in the above format.


Usually expect e.g.

<host> <ip addresss> - - [01/Feb/2006:16:30:40 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.0"
200 12650 "-" "Wget/1.7"

Anyone know why you might get a request without a POST, GET etc.?

I can get something like that if I use telnet ip.of.the.server 80 and
then don't do anything when the connection is established. The server
after a while will close the connection with a timeout without me
sending any single request. Now, having 40 in 1 second could be a lame
attempt at DOS attack or a badly configured proxy.

Many thanks for the suggestion.
