    <p>Since 12 june 2012 11:20 TU, I see very weirds errors in my varnish/apache logs.</p> <p>Sometimes, when an user has requested one page, several seconds later I see a similar request but the all string after the last / in the url has been replaced by "undefined".</p> <p>Example: <strong><a href="http://example.com/foo/bar" rel="noreferrer">http://example.com/foo/bar</a></strong> triggers a <strong><a href="http://example.com/foo/undefined" rel="noreferrer">http://example.com/foo/undefined</a></strong> request.</p> <p>Of course theses "undefined" pages does not exist and my 404 page is returned instead (which is a custom page with a standard layout, not a classic apache 404)</p> <ul> <li>This happens with any pages (from the homepage to the deepest)</li> <li>with various browsers, (mostly Chrome 19, but also firefox 3.5 to 12, IE 8/9...) but only 1% of the trafic. </li> <li>The headers sent by these request are classic headers (and there is no ajax headers).</li> <li>For a given ip, this seems occur randomly: sometimes at the first page visited, sometimes on a random page during the visit, sometimes several pages during the visit...</li> </ul> <p>Of course it looks like a javascript problem (I'm using jquery 1.7.2 hosted by google), but <strong>I've absolutely nothing changed in the js/html or the server configuration</strong> since several days and I never saw this kind of error before. And of course, there is no such links in the html.</p> <p>I also noticed some interesting facts:</p> <ul> <li>the undefined requests are never found as referer of another pages, but instead the "real" pages were used as referer for the following request of the same IP (the user has the ability to use the classic menu on the 404 page)</li> <li>I did not see any trace of these pages in Google Analytics, so I assume no javascript has been executed (tracker exists on all pages including 404)</li> <li>nobody has contacted us about this, even when I invoked the problem in the social networks of the website</li> <li>most of the users continue the visit after that</li> </ul> <p>All theses facts make me think the problem occurs silently in the browers, probably triggered by a buggy add-on, antivirus, a browser bar or a crappy manufacturer soft integrated in browsers updated yesterday (but I didn't find any add-on released yesterday for chrome, firefox and IE).</p> <p>Is anyone here has noticed the same issue, or have a more complete explanation?</p>

    1. COSome JavaScript code on your pages is constructing URLs, and it's got one or more bugs. Software, without being changed itself, can change behavior due to browser updates, sensitivity to date/time, 3rd part script changes, etc. Without seeing the code, it's going to be impossible to tell exactly what's wrong.

    3. COGot the exact same problem - Furthermore I also get a lot of URL/cache/RANDOM. Something like: http://www.mysite.com/somePage.aspx/cache/d4a8bc7342d - Seems the random part is hex numbers. It could be a subset of a GUID.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
