Don't know whoever the fucking morons are writing those stupid fucking proxy servers, but a shitload of them were just blocked today when we noticed they were appending ":80" to the URL and it shows up in the HTTP_HOST parameter.
Normally HTTP_HOST just has something like "www.domain.com" but when the connection is initiated from a certain cluster of proxy servers it shows up as "www.domain.com:80" which is trivial to block.
Saved me a shitload of work tracking down the IPs to block.
Thank you VERY MUCH you stupid fucking assholes!
