Why 2 requests

The first is a HEAD request (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods)

and why my server return status 302 and not 200 ?

Seems you have some sort of Auth handler in front that does a redirect (which is what a 302 is). If you want to find out why you should try hitting that resource with your browser pretending to be the Googlebot. If you're using Firefox you should look at the User Agent Switcher plugin.
