Thanks for the reply. I actually am interested in bots, at least in the form of legitimate web crawlers. My itty bitty website was specifically intended to expose the archives of a defunct (but formerly public) mailing list to interested parties and said crawlers:

In addition, the last time I did anything with the web was about 20 years ago, so this whole enterprise is a fun (for some definition of "fun") reacquaintance with more current web application development. I spent most of my career (I'm now retired) using Python to implement various things for various uses, so Flask was a pretty straightforward way to get something up and running quickly. As a placeholder for something more sophisticated, a couple location directives squashed a large fraction of the problematic URIs. Skip Montanaro
