When a browser goes to get a file, it first tries it without
authentication. That fails with an 'Authentication Required' failure
(thus the failure). The browser then asks the user for login details
and submits it. This second request will succeed (provided the login
details are correct). Since your site redirects the valid login, this
registers as a redirect.

So you really are getting both requests. They aren't being counted
twice.
