Message showing in apache logs - \\x80L\\x01\xx03

[djblamire]

I have just been looking in the apache error_logs file, and notce the following line showing several times (from different IP addresses):

Invalid method in request \\x80L\\x01\\x03

Any ideas what this means ?? - My server provider believes it is a 'bogus' request that is flooding my server....

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Thanks for the link - I will take a look.

It is strange though, as we don't use SSL....

Thanks

This is very likely a SSL/TSL error. Read my response in this thread: http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=40521
