Getting PROPFIND in apache access logs

I am getting lots of request in my apache access log file as follows:

50.80.29.105 - - [19/Sep/2012:07:32:31] "PROPFIND /images/logos/puzzles.gif HTTP/1.1" 501 5014

Because of this error is getting generated on my server; and log files are getting filled up with exceptions. Is there a way to avoid this ? Probably put it in robots.txt !

block Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir, and add a generic block for any UA using: WebDAV , as this is a method used by WebDAV , mostly by an org who is trying to improve its rankings.

Add these lines to [Directory] section of httpd.conf , save it and restart Apache:

SetEnvIf User-Agent ^Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir BegoneWebDAV
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from env=BegoneWebDAV
