This is simply not true. The request to log the event hits bits.wikimedia.org and is distinct from either request used as part of the test. Navigating away before both requests have completed (or have been forcibly timed-out) prevents the event from being logged at all. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
