thx Jean-Philippe for pointing me in the direction of the curl program - I thought it was just a library.

Seems one of my users was using curl in a web prog

Hello Chris

The messages written after the favicon.ico lines are the output of curl
program which is used to transfer an URL

for example, if you try : curl -f -L -O http://jeanpba.homeip.net/index.php
you will get this output :
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100  4565  100  4565    0     0   4857      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 1611k
because the URL exists.
and in your case curl failed due to "failed writing body"

Do you have any sub program which tries to download something and have been
run in the same environnment of your web server ? The command should be :
curl /home... ? could you look for this program in your environnment ?

I am seeing strange log entries in my apache error_log on my FC4 server.
Does anyone else have it?

It looks like someone is getting apache to run a program to download
something.
thx
