I have created a CGIDEV2 HTTP server and am serving a simple web page with info from my database.

I appear to have a few iSeries Access users (always the same 2) that are causing messages to be written to the access log. These users DO NOT use my web page. I am thinking there must be something in iSeries Access config or my HTTP server config that is causing this anomaly. I do not understand how they could have anything at all to do with the HTTP server. They do not even know the IP address or DNS name of the server. It seems to happen when they first start iSeries Access emulation for the day.

The log messages are:
10.0.4.72 - - [16/Dec/2008:07:34:39 -0800] "OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1" 200 - 10.0.4.72 - - [16/Dec/2008:07:34:39 -0800] "PROPFIND /QIBM HTTP/1.1" 405 230 10.0.4.72 - - [16/Dec/2008:07:34:39 -0800] "PROPFIND /QIBM HTTP/1.1" 405 230

I believe that these requests are used by webdav (i.e. "web folders") and that Client Access looks for updates on the host. (The one which has special status when looking at the overview in System Navigator, or the one Client Access was installed from).

Perhaps this helps?
