Too Stupid to Scrape

This one should be filed under "Oh My God What a Moron" as someone slammed my server today attempting to download my content with a minor twist - they got the case on all the page names wrong!

All of my pages use Upper/Lower case file names like Page1_Blah.html

Look at this shit:


0.0.0.0 - - [23/Jan/2006:14:14:48 -0600] "HEAD /page1_blah.html HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "-"
0.0.0.0 - - [23/Jan/2006:14:14:48 -0600] "GET /page1_blah.html HTTP/1.1" 404 1302 "-" "-"
0.0.0.0 - - [23/Jan/2006:14:14:53 -0600] "HEAD /page2_blah.html HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "-"
0.0.0.0 - - [23/Jan/2006:14:14:54 -0600] "GET /page2_blah.html HTTP/1.1" 404 1302 "-" "-"

The page names were all correct but lower case which sure as hell won't work on a Linux server!

Never thought I'd see a scraper too stupid to scrape!

That's one dumb asshole.
