re: Apache Status and HTTP Requests of "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0"
Hi Don (are you the "veteran" that was mentioned in
News - cPanel Inc. ?

well at least they didn't say "antique"

)
Re: OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0 - I read the RFC, but I guess my questions would be: what is actually doing those requests, and do they really need to be doing it approximately every second?
# tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log

I tried switching off http monitoring in Main >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager to no effect.
Any further enlightenment you can offer would be much appreciated.
Cheers from the UK,
