404 errors driving my nuts

[Einstein47]

This may not be the correct forum, but I'm hoping that someone may still be able to point me in the right direction.

In my access.log I am seeing a bunch of 404 errors for java class files

GET /site/TButtonPop$COMClassObject.class HTTP/1.1
GET /site/TButtonPopBeanInfo.class HTTP/1.1

The developers swear that none of their code is calling these classes. What they are calling are:

GET /site/TButtonPop.class HTTP/1.1
GET /site/TMenu.class HTTP/1.1
GET /site/TButton.class HTTP/1.1

Which is similar, but those servlets are found.

Really I don't care about the servlets, I just want to know why they continue to make 404 errors in my access.log file. They are false positives that make it hard to find the real 404 errors that I need to deal with.

If anyone has any advice or suggestions, I'm all ears. Einstein47

hello

i am having similar problems with my server: we are still getting requests for old html pages that have been removed months ago!

my guess is either that it's got something to do with DNS requesting an older version of the site(?) or that people's web browsers are still looking for the "old" material (i find Mozilla to be a regular offender here)... either way it's not avery big deal. unless you think it's someone actually looking for that material, which, needless to say, is not good...

sorry i wasn't more helpThe Salty Duke
