just out of curiosity, have you checked to make sure you aren't using the $.ajax() method (or one of its convenience methods) elsewhere? i see in the first set of headers that the "X-Requested-With" header is present, which is generally added by jQuery (and most other libs) when a request is submitted via XHR. so, the first request is being submitted via ajax, and the second request is not. is this intentional?
also, just a note that $.getScript() is generally used to make cross- domain calls (which are not allowed in XHR), so if the resource is on the same domain i'd recommend scrapping the $.getScript() call and replacing it with an $.ajax() call. of course, as michael suggested, a test page would get us all much closer to the answer :) On Nov 24, 4:19 pm, Michael Geary <m...@mg.to> wrote: > Can you post a link to a test page? > > Pretty hard to troubleshoot by just looking at the headers. > > Of course, someone will come along and troubleshoot it from the headers > alone and prove me wrong! :-) > > -Mike > > On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 6:50 AM, Eric <ikeah...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey there, > > > A $.getScript() call I am making results in two seperate requests to > > the server.
