[Sheflug] Funny GETs in www logs.



My www.ducksburg.com/scripts/ directory doesn't have an index page, so
Apache just gives the "standard list" of its contents.  Occasionally
I see weird sequences such as the following in my www logs:

22:29:24    GET / 
22:29:24    GET /scripts/ 
22:29:24    GET /scripts/?C=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cjp.spb.ru%2Fen%2Ftis%2Fleboma%2F;O=A 
22:29:25    GET /scripts/?C=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.municipioxii.it%2Fsunnyway%2Feheqebi%2Fjahibop%2F;O=A 
22:29:25    GET /scripts/?C=http%3A%2F%2Fsahel55.com%2Farticles%2Fomaduro%2Fkimumid%2F;O=A 
22:29:25    GET /scripts/?C=M;O=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.altaiseer-eg.com%2Far%2Farticles%2Fjed%2Fumut%2F 
22:29:25    GET /scripts/?C=M;O=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.northfans.ch%2Fforum%2Fadmin%2Fsettings%2Fgucor%2Fujusu%2F 
22:29:25    GET /scripts/?C=M;O=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cjp.spb.ru%2Fen%2Ftis%2Fleboma%2F 
22:29:26    GET /scripts/photofilename.perl 
22:29:26    GET /scripts/?C=M;O=A 
22:29:26    GET /scripts/?C=N;O=A

That's a real example, edited down for readability.  Those entries all
come from one remote host and give the user-agent "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)".

What does this mean?  Is this a bot looking for some kind of
vulnerability to post web-spam?

Thanks,
Adam
