Syndication breakdown

Hey, would one of you RSS reader users who's getting a 404 on my animations tell me details about your setup and what's going on? I went to try to figure out if I was getting any hits and saw all sorts of wacky "I wonder what's generating that URL" type weirdness.

I'm an RSS reader, but I don't ever remember seeing any animations on your rss feed. I have seen the occassional image...

It's that I'm getting entries like:

67.164.134.224 - - [01/Dec/2005:12:52:57 -0800] "GET /"http://www.flutterby.com/danly...rod_dribble.mov">animate HTTP/1.1" 404 377 "-" "Mozilla/4.08"

And the only thing I can figure (besides "Mozilla/4.08"? WTF?) is that some syndicator is looking at the previous entry and going completely whacked on the links therein.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
