    copied!<p>I have a site that's embedded inside an iframe.</p> <p>On occasion I'm seeing a phantom get request generated for each get or post.</p> <p>The nginx logs show this occurring, notice there is a get request sent immediately after the post:</p> <pre><code>XX.XXX.XXX.XX - - [06/Oct/2012:20:55:47 +0000] "POST /website_widget/users HTTP/1.1" 200 1996 "http://subdomain.mysite.com/website_wi dget/users/sign_up" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1" XX.XXX.XXX.XX - - [06/Oct/2012:20:55:47 +0000] "GET /website_widget/users HTTP/1.1" 404 781 "http://subdomain.mysite.com/website_widg et/users" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1" XX.XXX.XXX.XX - - [06/Oct/2012:20:55:53 +0000] "POST /website_widget/users HTTP/1.1" 200 1993 "http://subdomain.mysite.com/website_wi dget/users" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1" XX.XXX.XXX.XX - - [06/Oct/2012:20:55:53 +0000] "GET /website_widget/users HTTP/1.1" 404 781 "http://subdomain.mysite.com/website_widg et/users" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1" </code></pre> <p>This also happens with standard get requests too. From my rails logs I can see:</p> <pre><code>Started GET "/website_widget/users/sign_in" for XX.XX.XXX.XX at 2012-10-06 20:45:35 +0000 [b7e895726057452d0af6a2ac5cd1668d] Processing by WebsiteWidget::MyController#new as HTML Started GET "/website_widget/users/sign_in" for XX.XX.XXX.XX at 2012-10-06 20:45:37 +0000 [b20e57fcc205ee6cf958589ab1660c9f] Processing by WebsiteWidget::MyController#new as */* </code></pre> <p>Notice in the <code>*/*</code> for the second log entry, which suggests the mime type is not set to html or not set at all.</p> <p>Had anyone come across this kind of thing before? Or got any idea how I can debug it further. I'm proving quite difficult to recreate.</p>
