gmer3.itd.sterling.com/home.htm in the access log

[Moshe Katz]

Benn,

That part of the log is not the request URL, it is the referrer header. The
path that was requested on your server is before that - a POST request to
"/cr-bin/mp.exe". The referrer (which the HTTP standard actually misspells
as "referer") is the web page that is making this request to your server.
