Weird invalid URL paths

Hello,

Any idea why I'm getting all sorts of weird requests on my django site? These URLs are completely random and not even anything close to those on my site.

They don't cause any issues as will just result in a Server Error (500) but curious as to what they are and if anyone else gets them

Thanks, Rory

That is weird. I've never seen this before. Maybe try to see what IP addresses they are coming from?

Hmm seems they're coming from a site called SEOStar, which I've never heard of!

Hi @roryjbd, yes, unfortunatelly it can happen when you have a web app on the internet -- someone will eventually hit you with some junk requests. Your app could serve 404 instead of rising Internal Server Error, but we can't do anything more about it really.
