Suspicious route?

Rails
1

I have a small site that I put up this weekend. To see any errors I
have rescue_action_in_public
send me an email.

This morning I received these errors:

no route found to match “/_vti_inf.html” with {:method=>:get}
(exception)no route found to match “/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc” with
{:method=>:post}

Is that someone poking around?

seems to be a common problem, read this

or throw “/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc” into google to get even more
details…

Many, many, many security holes in the Microsoft Frontpage extensions

Thanks Thorsten. So within hours someone was up to no good. They were
only a day late, as the version before mine had been using frontpage.

maybe they knew that or even had success with it?

I was wondering the same thing. I wasn’t involved, but a quick look at
previous logs didn’t reveal anything obvious.

This sort of url activity happens all the time on popular web servers.
It’s really nothing to gasp about.

Thanks Greg. I didn’t know what it was, and at first thought I’d done
something wrong in setting it up, as it happened so soon after going
live.
