As you can see these are quite frequent connections and IP appears to be Cloudflare: http://myip.ms/info/whois/173.245.53.68

How is that possible that someone quite anonymously spamming me by this into my error_log file ?

I'd shoot an email to [email protected] .. and block the IP with your software firewall (iptables, csf, etc..).
