I'm running into a strange problem. I have a situation in which I want a script to treat Managers differently than other users.

This is a FAQ and is related to how HTTP works. Requests are (generally) first sent without authorization credentials, if the response is 401 then the user agent will resend the request with creds (after obtaining them from the user if necessary). -- Jamie
