I had asked this question in stackexchange.com ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10496410/java-servlet-request-getrequesturl-logged-abnormal-string/10496937#10496937). Since this place is more suited for security related question, I am putting it again here.
In one my servlet running in public domain, I got an abnormal string log from the request.getRequestURL() method. I keep logging the details and found an entry which is "http://answers.yahoo.com". Can some one help me in analyzing how this could have happened and also how to achieve it. Ideally the log should be the URL address in the browser using which a user or a device invokes the servlet.
For example if the registered name of the server mapped to the IP is http://www.alphabeta.com/x_serv?a=2, the logs should be alphabeta.com
