lockup in older version

Hi guys,

    I have a question about a bug i'm running into with an older version
of cherrypy -> 2.1.0 .

I can't easily update it as I'm using a open-source league ladder
software that is based on, and includes, this version of cherrypy.

The cherrypy server appears to hang, pretty regularly, more than once a
day. It doesn't crash (or i'd just script it to restart) but http
connections to it just time out, until the cherrypy server is killed.

It always seems to happen just after some fecker tries to check if it's
an open-proxy -> http://pastebin.com/m225dff35 ,ie, they try and trick
cherrypy into opening some remote ip address harvesting webpage.

Cherrypy throws up a path not found, and is then locked afterwards. Has
anybody seen this before, I'm hoping it was a known bug? I've tried
putting in exceptions to catch what's going on, but from my limited
python knowledge it looks like it should just say path not found, and
then continue on happily, instead of hanging.

thanks for any help you can give me,

    Greg
