| It appears to be a 400 "Bad Request" error, caused by something creating a HTTP request with weird data (possibly an attempt to hack in via Apache).
I would install mod_security and set up a good set of rules, and see if it continues.

| I installed the mod_security and blocked the ip's which were playing with my server in my software firewall, currently i'm using default mod_security settings, please suggest any tips regarding it
