Hi All, There's a frequent error message in my Apache error_log (v2.2.21 under openSUSE 12.1): "Invalid URI in request OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" I know this is an internal dummy connection to test if the server is alive or not. But every time, Apache tries to connect to itself, it writes instead of the error log. Here is the full request: OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Apache (internal dummy connection) Response: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Vary: accept-language,accept-charset,User-Agent Accept-Ranges: bytes Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Language: en Expires: Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:31:04 GMT Here is the full "debug" log: [error] [client 194.38.104.110] Invalid URI in request OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0 [debug] mod_headers.c(756): headers: ap_headers_output_filter() [debug] mod_headers.c(756): headers: ap_headers_output_filter() [debug] mod_headers.c(756): headers: ap_headers_output_filter() [debug] mod_headers.c(756): headers: ap_headers_output_filter() [error] [client 194.38.104.110] ModSecurity: Warning. String match "Invalid URI in request" at WEBSERVER_ERROR_LOG. I tried to telnet to my server on port 80, and when I write "OPTIONS *", I get a 400 error, but when I write "OPTIONS /", I got 200 OK. RFC says the * is acceptable, so I don't understand why the error. I tried to use Google, but had no luck, unfortunately. Could you please, help me resolving this issue?
