Could someone please explain why/how this may be considered as an attack or at least as something bad? Someone requesting an URL from a web server that doesn´t serve this URL --- or doesn´t serve the specified domain at all --- could be caused by incorrect responses from name servers, couldn´t it? What is it in particular that would distinguish the request in question from others? -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
