    Does anyone have any ideas what attack this might be?
    
    Below shows 4 seperate potential attacks by 3 different hosts, this is all the activity in my logs for those three hosts, nothing more anywhere related to those three ip address.
    
    It starts with a request for the directory /sumthin
    maybe tries a header exploit by sending a VERSION method?
    and connects ssl.
    
    My googling and mailing list searches dont turn anything up about what this might be.
    
    Anyone else see these hits for the /sumthin directory or know what they might be?
    
    Sorry for the long lines of log and wrap.
    
    Cheers,
