So, in my access log, what the hell does this mean? I keep seeing crap like this, occasionally. Sometimes just one line, sometimes a string of identical lines. Who is doing what? Is this my own system (Mac 10.8.5) doing something funny?

It is kind of odd that there is an entry exactly every second in this particular string.

One reason that I have to suspect it's my own system doing it is that I always get a string of these right after my logfile is turned over.
