Mongrel users - Jul 2006 - Strange local requests with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer, and Mongrel 0.3.13.2

Hello all,

My Rails app is logging some rather strange requests:

Processing StoreController#index (for ::1 at 2006-07-03 13:18:48) [GET]
  Session ID: ed5e2a0e5b4b9290835a969cdd749e6e
  Parameters: {"action"=>"index",
"controller"=>"store"}
Completed in 0.08174 (12 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.07951 (97%) | DB:
0.00000 (0%) | 200 OK [http://127.0.0.1/]

These are only for the default route, and they don''t seem to be
related to any actual requests. There''s about a 2:1 ratio between
actual requests and these weird local requests.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Most likely you have something on that page which is a static resource
and isn''t being referenced correctly.

Turn on debugging:

  mongrel_rails start -B

And run this request, then check the log/mongrel_debug/files.log and
rails.log.  It''ll tell you all you need to know.

Nailed it in one.

Thanks for the help, Zed, and more importantly, thanks for sharing
such an awesome piece of software with the rest of us.
