15785 - server server logs show unusually large number of requests from sidebar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 15719

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect, P3)

Description

[Dawn Endico]

A while back I noticed that for each time apprunner said it was updating
flash, two entries appeared during the same second in the server log. Looking
at the logs more carefully i can see this isn't happening all the time, but
I do see more activity than I would expect. One host had 8 hits for both
flash.rdf and panel.html within a minute. Is it really supposed to be updating
that often?

Yesterday at porkjockeys people complained about sidebar redrawing twice.
My hypothesis is that its doing everything twice including http requests.
While writing this bug report I started up apprunner and am tailing the server
log, grepping for my ip address. I've seen two pairs of requests for panel.html
go by so far. It seems like it does one http request and a few seconds later
after the first one has laid out, it does a second. We need to look in to this
more.

server logs are at lounge.mozilla.org:/opt/apache/logs/access_log


two different clients requesting flash.rdf in the same second.

I had a bug that the sidebar loaded two sets of the same panels. I added that
some time last week.
