Hi all,

I recently turned on the broken link emails setting on my site, and
I've got a couple that really confused me.

I assume these emails get sent to me when a user gets a 404, and the
referrer is internal. But here is one example I got:

Referrer: 
http://www.example.com/photos/gallery/singapore-malaysia-and-thailand/wat-phra-mahathat-3/
Requested URL: 
/photos/gallery/singapore-malaysia-and-thailand/wat-phra-mahathat-3/#submitted
User agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
IP address: 127.0.0.1

As far as I can tell, the URL is identical to the referrer (which is a
valid page), except the anchor, which I thought the server doesn't
care about (I didn't even think the server got sent the anchor?)

On that page, the reference to that address is in a forms submit
target - the idea being that users will be taken straight back to the
form if validation fails, rather than the top of the page.

Could this be an IE bug (all the emails have had that user agent) that
is handling the forms target incorrectly, or is that just not
something you're supposed to do?

On a slightly related note, could any webfaction customers (or anyone
else) shed any light on how I would  stop all of requests from
appearing to be internal? Notice the IP address there - I guess it's
because of the webfaction set up of nginx proxying for apache. Anyone
know any config changes I can make? All my comments have that as the
users IP too, which isn't ideal.

Any light you could shed on this would be great!

Peter
