On the first visit to that page, there are two duplicate, conditional GETs of the same image; the duplicates are for the case where the width or height is not the "natural" size of the image, and the corresponding width/height is unspecified. For this html, where the image is the same in each reference, but has a different name. <html> <body> <IMG SRC="w-no-h-no.gif" ><br> <IMG SRC="w-no-h-yes.gif" height=58><br> <IMG SRC="w-yes-h-no.gif" width=600 ><br> <IMG SRC="w-yes-h-yes.gif" width=600 height=58><br> <IMG SRC="w-bogus-h-no.gif" width=400 ><br> <IMG SRC="w-bogus-h-yes.gif" width=400 height=58><br> <IMG SRC="w-no-h-bogus.gif" height=400><br> <IMG SRC="w-yes-h-bogus.gif" width=600 height=400><br> <IMG SRC="w-bogus-h-bogus.gif" width=400 height=400><br> </body> </html> You get these duplicates on the intial load of the page: 23:50:54 GET /case-one/document.html 200 565 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-no-h-no.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-no-h-yes.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-yes-h-no.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-yes-h-yes.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-bogus-h-no.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-bogus-h-yes.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-no-h-bogus.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-yes-h-bogus.gif 200 4518 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-bogus-h-bogus.gif 200 4518 DUP-> 23:50:54 GET /case-one/w-bogus-h-no.gif 304 - DUP-> 23:50:55 GET /case-one/w-no-h-bogus.gif 304 - A reload of that page (with pref set to once per session) gives this (and note that there isn't a need to do a conditional GET at all, so none of these needs to happen). 23:55:25 GET /case-one/document.html 304 - ?? 23:55:26 GET /case-one/w-bogus-h-no.gif 304 - ?? 23:55:26 GET /case-one/w-no-h-bogus.gif 304 - DUP-> 23:55:26 GET /case-one/w-bogus-h-no.gif 304 - DUP-> 23:55:26 GET /case-one/w-no-h-bogus.gif 304 - A shift-reload of that page does this: 23:57:47 /case-one/document.html 200 565 23:57:47 /case-one/w-no-h-no.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-no-h-yes.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-yes-h-no.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-yes-h-yes.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-bogus-h-no.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-bogus-h-yes.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-no-h-bogus.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-yes-h-bogus.gif 304 - 23:57:47 /case-one/w-bogus-h-bogus.gif 304 - DUP-> 23:57:47 /case-one/w-no-h-yes.gif 304 - DUP-> 23:57:47 /case-one/w-yes-h-no.gif 304 - DUP-> 23:57:47 /case-one/w-bogus-h-no.gif 304 - DUP-> 23:57:47 /case-one/w-no-h-bogus.gif 304 - ---------------------------------------- If the images are animated, you get the same set of duplicate GETs, but in this case, the duplicate transfers are 200 OK (e.g., 10KB instead of ~100B). So, if an ad banner is mis-sized, this will cost the end user for the second fetch (e.g., 2 or more seconds on a 56K connection).
