http:/www.site.com/filename.asp - 80 - 66.249.66.198 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+Googlebot/2.1;++http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Note that there is only a single / after http. A single slash? Why?

And this is immediately followed by the standard request
/filename.asp - 80 - 66.249.66.198 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+Googlebot/2.1;++http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Why is this? I dont think its some hijacking attempt, after all both the URLs are requested one after the other. I am seeing hundreds of these double requests.

Any idea why this happens?
