Looks to me like you have a user, nathane, who is trying to get  to his
webmail, or something in his web folder, and doesn't know exactly what to
type. Perhaps you should figure out who nathane is and suggest using the
/~nathane web directory and that if he needs a different port that it goes
after the domain but before the subdirectory.

Just my guess.

Has anyone ever seen web requests such as this?  Looks suspicious.
