Can you use a packet sniffer to check if the browser really makes two requests?
I have a testing network setup with two computers host (webserver) 192.168.2.101 (Win XP) client 192.168.2.100 (Mac OS 10.5)
Client (FF[*]) calls http://192.168.2.101:4242/cat?lang=fr&aktion=start
.. Hmm, now that I think of it, I think I've seen Firefox do this, too. Some sort of prefetching thing gone wrong, perhaps? Rob
Problem solved.
As mentioned in http://www.markgandolfo.com.au/articles/33, FF retries the request when finding img-tags containing empty sources, ie. <img scr="">.
Therapy: removing these empty src attributes.
