ok, my bad...

that much i knew

ant that's what bothers me... as someone else already mentioned, i consider an 
unauthenticated request as unnecessary, if authentication is already known as 
required. regardless if the cost of an http-request is with today's cpu-power 
and network bandwith close to neglectible... it's still unnecessary... and it 
fills up the log...

but i can totally understand if there are more important things to fix.

greetings...
