Hallo, Michael,

Du (michael.daly) meintest am 11.08.08:

>> "GET /Wiki/index.php?title=http://example.tld/some-side.htm? HTTP/1.1" 301
>> "GET /Wiki/index.php?title=Http://example.tld/some-side.htm%3F HTTP/1.1" 200

Some days ago I got more than 16 requests from Canada.

> I've added some statements to my Apache <VirtualHost> sections to use

> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^title=.*http:            [OR,NC]
> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php/.*http:      [OR,NC]
> #... other forbidden stuff...
> RewriteRule ^(.*)$    http://example.com             [F,L,R]

Thanks - I'll try.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
