In our web pages, we have a hyperlink with an href to an absolute URL:
https://some.other.host.com/blah.aspx?var1=val1&var2=val2
For some reason, in our logs, we see a lot of requests to URLs of this format:
http://our.site.com/https:/some.other.host.com/blah.aspx?var1=val1&var2=val2
We don't have any JavaScript that would request that URL; it only appears inside of a hyperlink. Is there some sort of known bot, browser plugin, bug, etc. that could be responsible for these requests being made?
