I noticed that Safari 5.0.5 (6533.21.1) seems to be sending repeated ajax calls. When I run the following abbreviated test case:
$(document).ready(function() {
setTimeout(function(e) {
var req1 = $.getJSON('/api/private/customers.json');
console.log('req1 sent');
}, 2000);
setTimeout(function(e) {
var req2 = $.getJSON('/api/private/customers.json');
console.log('req1 sent');
}, 4000);
});
the Safari Resources panel and console display two xhr requests, but my server log shows three xhr requests:
XX.XX.XX.XXX - - [10/May/2011:16:50:40 -0400] "GET /api/private/customers.json HTTP/1.1" 200 183 "https://sub.mydomain.com/customers" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.21.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.5 Safari/533.21.1"
XX.XX.XX.XXX - - [10/May/2011:16:50:42 -0400] "GET /api/private/customers.json HTTP/1.1" 200 183 "https://sub.mydomain.com/customers" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.21.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.5 Safari/533.21.1"
XX.XX.XX.XXX - - [10/May/2011:16:50:42 -0400] "GET /api/private/customers.json HTTP/1.1" 200 183 "https://sub.mycomain.com/customers" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.21.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.5 Safari/533.21.1"
When I make the same request with the latest version of Firefox, I correctly get two requests:
XX.XX.XX.XXX - - [10/May/2011:16:52:00 -0400] "GET /api/private/customers.json HTTP/1.1" 200 183 "https://sub.mycomain.com/customers" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1"
XX.XX.XX.XXX - - [10/May/2011:16:52:02 -0400] "GET /api/private/customers.json HTTP/1.1" 200 183 "https://sub.mycomain.com/customers" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1"
This behavior is not like the first request, but all subsequent requests are sent in duplicate. Does anyone know what is going on? The effort to detect extra queries in js was futile.
