The Problem:
With Firefox and Webrick, every JavaScript (.js) file type is repeatedly requested, which causes every page load to be too slow.
With Internet Explorer:
With Internet Explorer the re-occurring request of every JavaScript (.js) file type does not happen on every page load.
The processing message of every page load looks similar to the following example:
Started GET "/home/css_middle_two" for *[localhost]*
Processing by HomeController#css_middle_two as HTML
Rendered home/css_middle_two.html.erb within layouts/application (0.0ms)
Completed 200 OK in 62ms (Views: 62.4ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)
With Firefox:
With Firefox it does happen - together - with the re-occurring processing message 304 Not Modified.
Having the cache and cookies cleared in Firefox, will cause
the first time request of every JavaScript (.js) file type to be successful - yet after that, the re-occurring request of every JavaScript (.js) file type on every page load will still happen.
Every processing message looks similar to this example:
Started GET "/assets/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom/development-bundle/ui/jquery.ui.effe
ct-drop.js?body=1" for *[localhost]*
Served asset /jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom/development-bundle/ui/jquery.ui.effect-drop
.js - 304 Not Modified (15ms)
The Question:
What is causing this - when even having the cache and cookies of Firefox cleared ?
The repeated request is done by the cache of Firefox. Though, what is causing the call for the repeated request? Which means, by which factor is the call for the repeated request caused?
