Please consider putting your Zope server behind a proxy that can block
this... if nothing other than to keep (benign) messages like this from
appearing (this is from the NIMDA/IIS/Windows worm; doesn't affect Zope)...
Malformed HTTP requests would never reach your Zope server if you have a
proxy returning errors to the client instead (in most cases, you don't even
need an ACL setup on the proxy, you just need to have a proxy in the first
place - I'm pretty sure that neither Squid nor Apache will proxy bad HTTP
requests).

Hello all,

My Plone site wasn't working so I checked the log file and got the following
traceback:

Can any of you help me figure out how to fix it?
