Hi Everyone,

My apologies for this lame question. I'm having trouble searching for it.

What is this request I see in the logs:

  186.222.62.229 - - [25/Apr/2020:21:35:18 -0400] "-" 408 -
  186.222.62.229 - - [25/Apr/2020:21:35:18 -0400] "-" 408 -

The reason I ask is, we have a MediaWiki attached to Apache. It gets
quite a bit of spam attempts. If it is not a legitimate request, then
I'd like to ban the host. I suspect it is some kind of probe, but I'd
like to know for sure before I take action.

Thanks in advance.
