Browsing thru some access logs I found that starting about Oct. 23, I am getting occasional GET requests that start like this:
where the base64 text is about 1600 characters long. My
Tomcat server responds with a 404 error to this GET.
Now, I see that
there is a data URI scheme where this kind of
string gets used, but what the sam hill is it doing in a GET to my perfectly ordinary HTML site containing no Javascript?
I was wondering if this is some sort of attack since only a few IP addresses are the source and the GETs repeat at short intervals some times.
Anybody got any idea why these suddenly appeared.
