Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116562

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Reiner Schug]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: (0.9.2)
BuildID:    2001062815

Mozilla 0.9.2 sends loadVariables request twice to the webserver.
The Webserver monitor reports twice as many requests per call
as with Mozilla 0.9 (or NS4.77 / IE).
Problem was detected because 2 records are added to a database after
clicking on "AddNew" button in the swf.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load html page with swf including loadVariables()
2. webserver processes asp script twice


Actual Results:  webserver processes asp script twice

Expected Results:  webserver processes asp script once

Webserver: IIS on NT4 SP6 (intranet)
Flash 5
Only happens with Mozilla 0.9.2

i've tested this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) 
Gecko/20010704
using apache server and flash 5 plugin and using something like this
loadVariablesNum ("kollektion_arbeiten.txt", 13);

no problem - document only requested once (seen in access.log)

I found the problem:
It only happends if the Disk Cache setting is left at the default value of
0 bytes. Setting the Disk Cache size to e.g. 10000 KBytes solves the problem.
