I noticed in the logs of my web-server, running my webcid, that the new Sophos update client (v2.5.8.263) included with 9.7.x does 2 requests for every file.
2011-05-13 11:42:51 xx.xx.xx.xx GET /win/savxp/auto-bpt.ide - 80 - xx.xx.xx.xx SophosAutoUpdate/2.5.8.263+SDDS/1.0+(u="sophosupd"+c="c4fd9cf1-d3c7-4251-969b-d8b045e60698") 401 2 5 0

The first one without authentication, which gets denied (401) and the second one with authentication.
I have configured authentication so I would expect only a authenticated request.
Older clients, v2.5.1.212 and v2.5.5.231 don't do this.
I already opened a support ticket for this but I was wondering if anybody else sees this behavior?
