Security Incidents: HTTP attack looking for /sumthin ?

[jmaywood1975 () hushmail com]

Does anyone have any ideas what attack this might be?

Below shows 4 seperate potential attacks by 3 different hosts, this is all the activity in my logs for those three 
hosts, nothing more anywhere related to those three ip address.

It starts with a request for the directory /sumthin
maybe tries a header exploit by sending a VERSION method?
and connects ssl.

My googling and mailing list searches dont turn anything up about what this might be.

Anyone else see these hits for the /sumthin directory or know what they might be?

Sorry for the long lines of log and wrap.

Cheers,
