I think the currently fashionable way to probe for vulnerabilities is to
send URLs that will execute something that will contact a central server
if they succeed, so it doesn't really matter what you do in the way of
blocking/redirecting, etc. They are probably going to ignore the return
status and are already running on distributed compromised hosts. At
least that's the sort of thing I see regularly trying to exploit a
struts vulnerability in our java web server's logs.
