Attempts to connect to port 80

begin  Joel Hammer's  quote:
| I have noticed a lot more attempts to connect to port 80 (apache
| server) in the last couple of weeks. I know there is a potential
| exploit against apache recently announced. Have others noticed this
| increased activity? Does anyone know if there are in actuality
| credible attempts being made to exploit this weakness?

what does the request look like? this is the one-year anniversary of 
code red, and there are still lots of infected boxen, which devote 
two weeks of each month to trying to connect on port 80.
