I have seen these alerts in my IDS as well. Looking into it, I found that
people seem to be testing for anonymous proxy. www.multiproxy.org used to
have this proxy-test.php to show what could be seen by a server. By proxing
through a server and going to proxy-test.php at multiproxy, you could see if
you were anonymous.
