Why is script being called twice?

[JGH]

I'm not sure this is an Apache issue, but I have a Perl script in a password-protected directory that I run from a web page, and I find it is sometimes executed twice. Checking the logs, I found that it is run once as the authenticated user and once as not:

domain1.com - - [05/Mar/2003:14:35:25 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/script.pl?var1=foo&submit=submit HTTP/1.0" 200 397 "

http://www.domain2.com/page.php"

"Mozilla/4.72 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; I)"

domain1.com - user [05/Mar/2003:14:35:27 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/script.pl?var1=foo&submit=submit HTTP/1.0" 200 95467 "

http://www.domain2.com/page.php"

"Mozilla/4.72 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; I)"

Any ideas?

Thanks - Jim

That's the way authentication works. //Daniel
