Hello All,

I'm getting tons of the following strange line in my access_log:

::1 - - [08/Jan/2006:08:38:30 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 482 "-" "Apach
e/2.2.0 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7f
PHP/5.1.1 (internal dummy connection)"

Any clue what it means and how to fix it?

Thanks.

... hmm.
::1 -- access came from localhost, using IPv6 as the transmission channel
GET / -- Root URL of your site was accessed
"Apache/2.2.0..." -- apparently the access came _from_ your web server

You might wish to look at other things that were called roughly at the
same time with this access. Apparently some server-side action at your
site is triggering the site to access itself.

Juha,

Thank you for your followup. I've looked at my full web logs
1 minute before and 1 minute after each of these dummy entries,
second by second, but I couldn't find a related entry that can
produce this dummy line. Is there a more robust way to trace it?
I'm starting to get concerned that the server is doing something
that it shouldn't.
