 Posted: Fri 28 Feb '14 23:24 Post subject: auto-index like commands; what are they?? |
 |
|
I get many GET requests that have auto-index like sort commands attached.
As in
| Code: | | GET /~account/directory/subdirectory/?M=A;S=D HTTP/1.1 |
I know what ?C=N,?C=M,?C=S,?C=D,?O=A, and ?O=D are supposed to do. But I also get lots of ?M=A, ?N=A, ?S=D. My Apache system just seems to reject those, and throws the requester my index file. What are those supposed to do? Why are people asking for things with those constructs? |

| Unless I'm mistaken, that page describes just the autoindex requests I said I knew about (because I've looked at that page). This page doesn't tell me, for example, is what ?M=A is supposed to do. Lots of requests to my site come with that command. |

So let me understand. I'm running 2.2.24. Why am I getting commands that are aimed at 1.3? Are these 1.3 auto-index commands really no longer applicable in 2.2?
Now, I should say that I recently upgraded to 2.2 from 1.3, so I guess these requests are coming from people who think they're still dealing with 1.3?
I'm confused. |

The look to be no longer applicable starting with 2.0.
As to why you're still getting them, your guess is as good as any. |

Thank you. That works for me. Clearly I'm getting them because I used to be running 1.3, and people are still flinging the same auto-index options at me because of that. I think I'm safe to just ignore them.
I was just wondering if such commands were in some way malicious. Probably not. |
