What exactly is "5262"

I know 200 is the status code... but what is 5262?

Is there a way i can block this crap?

The last part indicates the size of the object returned to the client, not including the response headers. If no content was returned to the client, this value will be "-". To log "0" for no content, use %B instead.

5262 is the size of the file being sent to the client, what are you running n your website?

You are running a forum aren't you?

Well, i managed to fix the issue by changing the index file to a different name, and restarting nginx.

@Mun
I'm actually running a game site (tetris styled). And thanks @taronyu, but however i'm using nginx so it's kinda different.

Thanks for clearing it up @Mun!

Mods, please close this 8D

I don't think you fixed it, just delayed it.

Most of those requests are from spam bots,

you may want to run: https://cdn.content-network.net/nbl/nbl.sh.txt

that daily.

I don't get it... you can't "fix" this? It is just the size of the file being sent to your client like @mun and I already said.
