Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can help me track down an issue on my server.

It seems that about 10 days ago for some unknown reason my server started logging the following entry:

::1 - - [25/Sep/2015:05:35:48 -0400] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips mod_fcgid/2.3.9 mod_wsgi/3.4 Python/2.7.5 (internal dummy connection)"

This is now appearing in the log over 500 times per day, but, once again, didn't prior to 10 days ago. I realize that I can choose to hide these entries and know how to do it, but I'd really like to figure out what's causing it and what it means. I've also read that the loopback entries are generally harmless, but "generally" doesn't mean "always" which is why I'm motivated to figure this out.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
