35.229.89.174 - - [07/Sep/2018:14:06:34 +0000] "GET /downloads/packages.json HTTP/1.1" 301 4158 "-" "Composer/1.5.6 (Linux; 4.14.48-coreos-r2; PHP 7.1.12-2+0~~20171207160754.12+jessie~~1.gbp5c91f3)"

Hello!

The above request is seen in our production webserver's log. We use PHP 7.1 in a Debian jessie container in GitLab CI, not coreos.

Where do these request originate from? Are they Gitlab Registry-realted? Is there a way to stop them? They are http/404. Please advise.

Thank you.
