If it is not the two expires headers, validate the HTML. Invalid
HTML can make some browsers send multiple requests (e.g. color=ee3322
instead of color="#ee3322" can trigger a request).

I am having a problem with MSIE 7 that does not happen in any real
browser.
There is a direct action link that selects a product. The direct
action ends in
.../groupcode/productcode.html
The direct action selects the product and displays the page with
the product details. But when you click on the link in MSIE, it
sends TWO requests to the server: the proper direct action with the
full URL, followed by another one that is just
.../groupcode/
But this second request is not displayed, only the first one is.
It just so happens that this direct action clears the selected
product in the session, so any component actions in the detail
page, like adding to the shopping cart, fail because there is no
selected product. And of course the page that results when you
click "add to cart" shows the list of products in the group,
instead of the detail page, because the selected product has been
cleared.
Other browsers work properly, but with some odd behaviour:
- Safari sends one request.
- Camino 1.0 and Firefox 2 both send TWO requests, but they are
both the full URLs.
Anybody have any ideas? This is driving me nuts. The site is a work
in progress, but it won't go live with problems like this.
For those who are curious, the work-in-progress page with the
problem is:
http://stage.thewoodworks.com.au/product/products/1000025/SCROLL
+SAWS.html
Clicking on "more info" on any product gives the problem.
