In this application when a page submits a request, it calls a

checked the IP addresses making the requests. They were msnbot!
After duplicating the phantom loads I did a search on Bing and found
the URL for the procedure that adds the load. You can not log into
the system from the URL, but authentication is checked after the
blank record is appended. You also have to call the URL with a
parameter with the robot does but Bing does not. There is a
robot.txt in each folder but it appears that msnbot does not respect
that. Looking at the requests, it appears that msnbot calls the url
anywhere from two to over 100 times right in a row! They just happen
to catch these urls immediately after the request.
Interesting. I think you should submit this to the RISKS List.
Or I could do it for you, whichever you prefer.
