One of our clients sites has a files directory that stores different types
of files: doc, pdf, xls.
Every now and again we get an error email with the following info:

PATH: /files/Timeline_of_Dec eption.doc

PLATFORM: Unknown

BROWSER: Unknown 0.0

COOKIES: False

EXCEPTIONS:

MESSAGE: Path 'OPTIONS' is forbidden.

Have done some looking and cant find any useful info on the above error
message.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Graham

I would imaging the server is getting some kind of WebDAV OPTIONS
request. Check the web server log.

You don't have date/time or client IP address in your debug message,
so it might be difficult to determine just when the error occured.

You might consider adding this to your debugging message.

Hi everyone, Every now and then I'm receiving the error posted below. I"m routing all my traffic through mod_proxy (apache) to my asp.net 2.0 (w2k3) machine. I can't reproduce this error and my site appears fine through my browser. I'm wondering if it is a search bot that is making these requests. Anyways, I can't find anything on google about this particular message. Any ideas greatly appreciated!! --------------------
