Hi,

Rails 1.2.6 on Linux, WEBrick.

Most of my users run IE 6, and some of them have MS Office plugins  
that send bogus requests, causing routing errors like this:

ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match “/MSOffice/  
cltreq.asp” with {:method=\>:get}):

They’re harmless, but I’d like to just send these to the bitbucket  
rather than have them fill up my log file. Suggestions?

And no, this isn’t Nimda. I checked. 🙂

Regards,

Dan
