[users@httpd] X's in HTTP GET

Here is an excerpt from a GET packet from IE-6.0-SP-1 on Win2k:

    Accept-Language: en-us\r\n
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: XXXXXXXXXXXXX\r\n
    User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)\r\n

What are all these X's?
Thanks,
Mike.

Most likely some anonymizing proxy blocking out the Referer field.
