I have a recently installed drupal site up and running (a week old or so) and when examining my Apache log i see requests like the ones show below. I'm using the Goofy them but have been unable to verify if this is a theme problem.

Anyone seen similar requests and know what to do with them?

Examples:

But, I haven't yet figured out why. Anyone have any ideas?

I havent found out what caused this but I suspect it has something to do with the proxy they are using where I work since all the errors of this type are coming from that ip address...

Are you running Google Desktop? I was seeing this error on one of my sites and it was hitting the site every 5 minutes. Turns out one of the admins had Google Desktop running and that was the culprit.

I am actually! I will give it a go w/o GD and see if that has any effect. Thanks for the tip!

I just had a client point out the same looping issue that you have described here. Ummm I'm using Google Destop too and have admins access to this site that is having this issue. Rorris, do you know why that would that really have an effect here? Cjessing, did shutting it off help?

I was tailing the access_log while refreshing the WebClips in GoogleDesktop and sure enough: this caused the access_log to be flooded with long "looping" requests.

Can anyone confirm this?

Sam problem... and is worst, because is appears in the registry log like duplicate database entries.

And I don´t have a Google Desktop installed!!
It seems like the logs entries are created by the same IP in a loop every x minutes. I have banned now 3 diferent IPs arround the world. Doens't make any sense to me.

this happens when a user tries to get RSS feed for that blog or taxomony.

I am using 4.6.5 but this still happens because drupal does not correctly show RSS feed for blog.

for front page(node), if you see the html source, you will see the following:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://yourdomain/node/feed" />

but if you go to a user's blog and see html source, you will see:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS - blahblah" href="blog/3/feed" />

here, the leading "http://yourdomain" is not included and if a user tries to get RSS feed from that page, the URL request goes loop...and generates error.

I checked the modules and found no difference in generating that string...

is there something we can do to prevent this?
I have tons of entries in the cache table of the database that look similar to the /blog/blog..... (let alone the reports in the administer section)
Any code or menu that should be changed?
can I disable the feed?

Actually I think the issue tracker has a rather detailed post about the rss client not honoring the base_url tag causing this. Google Desktop amoung others seem to case this error in the logs.
