I have been seeing the same type of attempts yesterday and a few days ago as well but they seem pretty useless to me. I am running an Apache server w/ php and I could not find any issues that these attempts cause. BTW, it was the exact same IP as well. I reported it to abuseat_private and they forwarded it to abuseat_private, but it would seem nothing has come of it. If you find out anything else please forward on but for now it seems, at least for an Apache server it does not seem to be an issue.
