If you are able to respond with "error 403" like the host filter does, it is considered a valid request and is logged appropriately (in older versions as well). An example of invalid request would be if you connect to port 8080 and send in some garbage stream of bytes. Those requests are rejected at early stages of processing, before they reach the valves, so in old versions of Tomcat they were not logged properly. > > The requestor makes about 200 POST requests within a few seconds everyday > around the same time for the past 4 months.
