I more interested in what at the client side is causing such requests.
I had a look into this a few weeks ago, and it appears to be IE8 related and concerns the google.com search page with the live search results and preview - although I never got to the bottom of exactly how the mechanism is supposed to work and then fails. (somehow a mismatch between google toolbar and MSIE8???)
I guessed at that time that google had invented some specific way of getting webmasters to put some code into their pages so as to get preferential "preview" treatment, e.g.:
<[defanged] html> <head><title>rogers and browne url(res: C: Program Files Google Google Toolbar Component GoogleToolbarDynamic_mui_en_E11712C84EA7E12B.dll findy_buttons.png)</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="rogers and browne url(res: C: Program Files Google Google Toolbar Component GoogleToolbarDynamic_mui_en_E11712C84EA7E12B.dll findy_buttons.png)"> <meta name="description" content="rogers and browne url(res: C: Program Files Google Google Toolbar Component GoogleToolbarDynamic_mui_en_E11712C84EA7E12B.dll findy_buttons.png)">
