Request = OPTIONS

Hi
i was browsing my IIS 6.0 log on my win2003 server and found following rows:

2004-04-27 14:12:54 *ServerIP* GET /_vti_inf.html - 80 - 194.236.121.101 Mozilla/2.0+(compatible;+MS+FrontPage+5.0) 404 0 2
2004-04-27 14:12:54 *ServerIP* POST /_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc - 80 - 194.236.121.101 MSFrontPage/5.0 404 0 3

I is wondering if this person have succieded get access to my server or what his/heres attentions was.

And What do OPTIONS meen? And what is Microsoft+Data+Access+Internet+Publishing+Provider+Protocol+Discovery? and why do the webserver say that this request was OK (200)?
