Why is this file constantly being requested?
I have a file thats being requested so many times it's slowing down everything else.
Edit - this question has escalated to here --> https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24293692/Need-to-block-a-URL-from-being-requested-urgent.html
I set a disallow to the file in htaccess file which seemed to do the trick for about half an hour. Now it's appearing again and i've now deleted the offending file.
What I also want to know is, why is the site full path bolted on to the end?
I've traced a few of the IP's doing this and most have several hops all around the world.
i've substituted actual site name with www.mysite.com
/folder1/folder2/productim

I'm going to reopen this and award points. The first Expert comment highlighted the actual issue and the question never asked for a solution, just What the problem is and How it can come about.
