Hi Helin, 

Is this the correct fix? IMHO, if this is a problem, then we should
surely not be hiding and ignoring the error. If it's not a problem, then
the log level should be reduced to a lower level, e.g. INFO or NOTICE.

Alternatively, this code could be modified to only print an error once
for each unsupported request type.

Ideally both solutions should be used, I think. I'm not sure I like
setting the default log level to just show EMERG messages.

Regards,
/Bruce
