Hi Brian et al.
I just upgraded to mod_mp3-0.40-1 (from .35!) and I'm pleased that
it fixed a few things, but one fix apparently was to do verbose logging.
The unfortunate result was that some [expletive deleted] web crawler
(inktomi) repeatedly requests non-existent links, and both my httpd
error log and mp3 log grow huge and fill up my root partition! At the
rate of about a gigabyte per hour it fills up fast too. I get millions
of lines like this in the httpd error log:
[Sun Mar 28 06:39:06 2004] [error] [client 66.196.90.77] File not found:
(null)(Bad address)
and like this in my mp3.log:
[26/Mar/2004:20:08:46 -0600] 59a19afd4878986d59e6be4e3c3d730d (null) (null)
I say they are non-existent because I can download a playlist of all
songs and I don't see that link in there.
Any ideas? OK, I just noticed I had a few files that were read-only by
root, and changed that. Seems like all bad links should return an empty
file (instead of an error), and I really don't care for them to be
logged at all. Any directives for that? For now I have had to block
that whole subnet, but it seems like a "Denial Of Service" waiting to
happen!
Thanks!
