Googlebot requesting invalid url
- by Rob Walker
I have a web app which emails me exceptions automatically. This morning there was an error relating to a url: /Catalog/LiveCatalog?id=ylwpfqzts
id is invalid (should be a guid) and caused an error parsing. Everything was handled correctly, and an error page is returned. But what was odd is that the user-agent reported itself as Googlebot and the IP is registered to Google.
The URL would never have been generated by my web app but doesn't look particularly malicious.
Anyone ever seen anything like this?
