Apache log with long strings of Xs in GET request

Hi everybody,

I was looking at my apache2 log and I found GET requests as such:

Some ip - - [20/Jul/2007:09:50:48 +1000] "GET /login.htm?password=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX HTTP/1.1" 404 327

or (without a GET request)

Some ip - - [20/Jul/2007:09:50:33 +1000] "very long string of Xs" 414 375

There were several others requests with even longer strings of X. What was the person trying to achieve?

Many thanks,

Dave
