I've seen a few hits from jericho2.microsoft.com reporting their
User-Agent as "Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MSIE 3.0A; Windows 95)"

Seems likely that the jericho# machines are testing machines since all
other hits from microsoft from other hosts are using a release version
and all hits from jericho2 are using this alpha version.  These hits
were from a few weeks ago.

WBCLI sounds like WebBrowserCLIent or something.

Whoa, yes, I've been getting a ton of them too, at least three a minute, 
all full requests to the home page, on hyperreal - more like 6 an hour on 
apache and vrml.  I haven't seen any on Organic hosts though.  Weird.  I 
do get requests from jericho machines calling itself "TinyWeb", 
performing a similar function.  Maybe our Microsoft employee on the list 
would like to enlighten us? :)
