Hey!
Not so weird but normal behaviour.
Steve has explained it thoroughly.
Now for a work around.
I am guessing that you do not want it to be reposted on refresh.
You can do this:
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
resp.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
This will keep your post from being posted again from a reload (refresh).
See if this works for you. As always, check the archive.

This has been discussed before.
Sans adieu,
Danny
