Apache 2.0, odd log entry?

I was checking my logs today and noticed the following entry in the
access log:

62.117.64.130 - - [29/Apr/2004:08:47:23 -0500] "GET
http://www.mozilla.org/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1628

Is this someone that was able to use my web server as a proxy
successfully? Or is it nothing to worry about.

Thanks.

It's possible that someone was trying to use your server as an open
proxy, but the page size (1628 bytes) make me think that he just
received your standard home page. Check for yourself. I'd put that
IP in my firewall anyway.

Thanks. I just did a test setting up my ip as a proxy in IE and got the
same type of entries in my log file. It always displays my home page no
matter the URL, and the size of 1628 bytes (the size of my home page).

Is this the way it should function, or are there some directives I can
use to not allow someome to do this? I got some other odd entires that
when researched were attempted hacks and proxy usage, but the requests
were denied.

Well, you could setup a Rewrite rule to send this kind of requests to
a default "bug off l00ser" page, but why whorry? The little bugger
tryed, got bitten and bugged off, the only thing he left was his IP
address, you could also send a complain to his ISP.
