Author apache on xp -- strange log entries: SEARCH /\x90\x02\xb1\...

these strange log entries go on for many lines and on the end of the
last line says, 'HTTP/1.0" 414 352'

I'm not sure what the 352 code is but I believe the 414 indicates that
the request is too long, correct?

Anyway, should I worry about this--I'm running apache 2 on xp pro? Help
would be appreciated--thanks.

Yes, 414 is the code for the URI is too long, 352 would be the amount of
data sent in response (a custom error page, perhaps). The Apache manual
explains this.

Try making the same URI request yourself, and see what the result is. Find
out what \x90, etc., codes stands for, and you'll be able to see what
they're trying to search for.

Write your whole question in the message body, where it's easy to respond
to, not in the subject line.
