Such lines appear when client opens a connection and doesn't send
valid request (e.g. just closes the connection).

Some modern browsers (e.g. Chrome) tend to open several extra
connections "just in case" and close them once they realize they
have no requests to send (and thus they cause such lines to
appear).

Another common reason is health checks from external balancers,
but it's probably not your case.
