Most requests like that are done by spam/spy drones, a redirect
elsewhere would be either ignored by the drone, not seen by a human or
cause more harm than good; so a 403 is usually the best thing to give
them.
You could possibly look at rewriting the request without redirecting
(mod_rewrite rules) if you're looking to log them in more detail, but
I'm not sure how well mod_rewrite would do with CONNECT requests.
