javascript - Why duplicate script tags do not produce duplicate requests? -


i have simple test case (and 3 hours of googling , flu)

<!doctype html> <html lang="en-us"> <head>     <meta charset="utf-8">     <title>Два внешних скрипта</title> </head> <body>     <script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/myscript.js"></script>     <script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/myscript.js"></script> </body> </html>

and server return following reponse headers

connection: keep-alive expires: mon, 04 dec 1999 21:29:02 gmt cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 pragma: no-cache

this code executed in chrome produces 1 request server, in opera, safari win.

is behaviour in anyway standard?

is there official documentation behaviour?

is cashe issue, cause thought still have request anyway 304 response?

disclaimer: please not suggest randomizing or avoiding issue. want learn background of issue

there 2 reasons why can happen. first content provider can set expires heading browser not issue second request, , second how browsers handle get requets in http, such request include script.

1. setting expires header of content

the content provider can set expires header script cached browser first time, hence lack of second request. standard web practice speeding web pages, , expires header set host server of script. yahoo developer has article on @ add expires or cache-control header recommends adding expires header scripts , stylesheets in addition images.

2. script method idempotent

get requests, such request include javascript on webpage safe methods according http specification. safe methods idempotent, in multiple requests yield same result single request , method used retrieve data. many browsers take advantage of property of http specification, , won't sent multiple requests idempotent methods. george cummins explained well, , article on available mozilla developer network.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
