in my previous post I got something weird in Apache log. Again, I found something strange, but what freaks me out is the response code. It's not 501 anymore, but 200. What do you say? Should I enable the paranoid-mode? Here's the entry:

***.***.***.*** - - [02/Feb/2011:00:42:51 +0100] "=\xa29)\x84\x11\xd0O\xa7@\xbd\x8f\xc4G\x96T\xf4" 200 25564

It wasn't a valid HTTP-request. You could get similar log entry doing something like telnet youserver 80 and then Entering 'HELLO'. I guess there's some index.php at the root of your server?

If memory serves 200 is a HTTP Status code for OK

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

From wikipedia

2xx Success

This class of status codes indicates the action requested by the client was received, understood, accepted and processed successfully.

200 OK Standard response for successful HTTP requests. The actual response will depend on the request method used. In a GET request, the response will contain an entity corresponding to the requested resource. In a POST request the response will contain an entity describing or containing the result of the action.
