Strange web server traffic

If you run a web server, and you pay any attention at all to its logs, you may be seeing many entries that look like:

    SEARCH /\x90\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02...

(Though the actual lines are very long). If you think it looks like an attack, you are correct. It is, however, an exploit for an old IIS vulnerability. Thus, most readers of this site need not be too worried about this one.
