What kind of IP is this?

[Jose Amaral Rego]

I was looking in my WOL and seeing if my links are properly working & see this from a guest. I thought it was a spider that I did not named or it was new spider. Do not know? anyone have knowledge on this?

Microsoft URL Control - 6.01.9782

[Floris]

That's a version number, not an ip.

[Jose Amaral Rego]

Version of OS you say, then how they block the ip completly? I guess an ip blocker.

[welo]

These folks say its an email harvester. Ban it.

[edit]
btw, you block an IP by using:

ACP > vBulletin Options > User Banning Options > Banned IP Addresses

Just block the IP corresponding to this thing.

Thxs for info but I like the ip cause I can not get that from lurking @ site.

-----------------------------

The libwww-perl collection is a set of Perl modules which provides a
simple and consistent application programming interface to the
World-Wide Web. The main focus of the library is to provide classes
and functions that allow you to write WWW clients. The library also
contain modules that are of more general use and even classes that
help you implement simple HTTP servers.
There are actually two versions of libwww-perl: one for Perl4, and one
for Perl5. Both have a similar architecture, loosely based on the CERN
Library of Common Code (nowadays known as 'w3c-libwww').
The Perl4 version was maintained by Roy Fielding, and was the
basis for tools such as MOMSpider. The perl4 version of libwww-perl
and much more information about its libraries can still be found at:

http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/websoft/libwww-perl/

The Perl5 version (this package) is a complete rewrite for Perl5: the
code is organized in Modules, provides an Object Oriented API, and
offers lots of extended functionality.


PREREQUISITES
In order to install and use this package you will need Perl version
5.005 or better. Some modules within this package depend on other
packages that are distributed separately from Perl. We recommend that
you have the following packages installed before you install
libwww-perl:
URI
MIME-Base64
HTML-Parser
libnet
Digest-MD5
These packages should be available on CPAN (see below).
If you want to access sites using the https protocol, then you need to
install the Crypt::SSLeay or the IO::Socket::SSL module. The
README.SSL file will tell you more about how libwww-perl supports SSL.


INSTALLATION
You install libwww-perl using the normal perl module distribution drill:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
You can edit the configuration section of Makefile.PL to select which
programs to install in addition to the library itself. If you don't
want to install any programs (only the library files) and don't want
to mess with the Makefile.PL then pass the '-n' option to Makefile.PL:
perl Makefile.PL -n
If you want to install a private copy of libwww-perl in your home
directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with
something like this command:
perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/perl
The Makefile.PL program will start out by checking your perl
installation for a few packages that are recommended to be installed
together with libwww-perl.


DOCUMENTATION
See ./lib/LWP.pm for an overview of the library. See ./ChangeLog for
recent changes.
POD style documentation is included in all modules and scripts. These
are normally converted to manual pages and installed as part of the
"make install" process. You should also be able to use the 'perldoc'
utility to extract and read documentation from the module files
directly.


SUPPORT
Questions about how to use this library should be directed to the
comp.lang.perl.modules USENET Newsgroup. Bug reports and suggestions
for improvements can be sent to the <[email protected]> mailing
list. This mailing list is also the place for general discussions and
development of the libwww-perl package.
You can join the mailing list by sending a message to
<[email protected]>.

AVAILABILITY
The latest version of libwww-perl should always be available from:

http://www.linpro.no/lwp/

The library is also available from the Comprehensive Perl Archive
Network (CPAN). Visit <URL:http://www.perl.com/CPAN/> to find a CPAN
site near you.
