What makes you think it's an attack?

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,
