In the last couple of days my website has had an increase in traffic,
from about 30 different IP addresses, all with a User-Agent of
"Go-http-client/1.1".

Each starts with a "GET / HTTP/1.1" request, with various User-Agents,
including Windows, Linux & MaxOS. If that works (as it will) it then
issues GETs for about 30 varied files, then stops. 

It seems that Go-http-client is a package which "provides HTTP client
and server implementations" but it is suddenly being used by lots of
IPs in a suspicious way.

Anyone else seen this?

They obviously do not abide by robots/txt (or even read it), so the
only way I know to block them is to add them to /htaccess as deny
froms - some have the same top two numbers.

Are there any better ways?
One way is just to ignore them, I know, but I would not want a trickle
to turn into a flood.

Martin
