Steve:
Never mind on trying to repeat it -- I see the occurrence in the HTTP logs
about 3 minutes before you posted the question about it.
Your browser (apparently MSIE 5.01 for Win98) doesn't appear to be sending
the referring page URL consistently (or, more importantly, correctly in all
cases). Oddly, It's sending the raw IP address as part of the URL some of
the time and the canonical DNS version other times. For example, when loading
the /set/nav_r.gif image, one time it sent
http://209.197.105.8/set/312_1
for the referring page and another time it sent:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/312_2
I've never seen anything that bizarre from an HTTP client before. Both are
valid and correct URLs, but the raw IP address version isn't a valid URL of
a referring page.
By any chance, were you putting the raw IP address into the URL by hand
and accessing the HTML pages that way? The code that checks to see if the
oops.gif graphic should be displayed looks for a host name ending in
.lugnet.com, for example the img.lugnet.com host. If the raw IP address
is used, the pattern match would fail.
