Apparently the AddThis.com robot is trying to access my node/XX/edit pages.

Watchdog:

Type	access denied
Date	Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - 21:31
User	Anonymous (not verified)
Location	http://www.mysite.com/node/86/edit
Referrer	
Message	node/86/edit
Severity	warning
Hostname	184.173.183.171

Is this normal? I don't understand it.

Probably unrelated, but that IP is showing up in my server logs on a regular basis, but I don't understand what it's doing:

184.173.183.171 - - [08/May/2013:03:44:29 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 1038 "-" "AddThis.com robot tech.support@clearspring.com" 
184.173.183.171 - - [08/May/2013:04:03:58 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 1038 "-" "AddThis.com robot tech.support@clearspring.com" 
184.173.183.171 - - [08/May/2013:04:18:13 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 1038 "-" "AddThis.com robot tech.support@clearspring.com"

This has been postponed, waiting for response from the OP for nine months.

There has been no response and no other reports of the problem.

I am unable to reproduce the problem with the information provided, so it is time to close.

Feel free to reopen if you can tell us how to reproduce this with a clean install of AddThis 7.x-4.x.
