Hello. The Intargoogle has failed me, and I'm hoping for some guru
insight. I'm not sure if these are the right places to post this, but
here goes.
I'm writing a small wishlist application in Rails, and I'm trying to
incorporate Amazon Product Previews (see the demo here if you don't
know what this is: http://www.tictap.com/tca). I'm able to recognize
amazon product links (the regex isn't too hard) and insert my
referrer-id, but the script-include that Product Previews is generating
a raft of requests to my mongrel server. Here's the snippet I inserted
just before the </body> tag on all my pages (as per the amazon
documentation):
---------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/link-enhancer?tag=mytag-20">
</script>
<noscript>
<img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/noscript?tag=mytag-20"
alt="" />
</noscript>
---------------------------------------------
Looking at my log, I see lots of lines like this:
---------------------------------------------
Processing PeopleController#function (property) { var results = [];
this.each(function (value, index) {results.push(value[property]);});
return results;}
(for 127.0.0.1 at 2007-01-12 08:54:36) [GET]
Session ID: 460f7da5266f6c1e87653c2ddf903023
Parameters: {"action"=>"function (property) { var results = [];
this.each(function (value, index) results.push(value[property]);});
return results;}", "controller"=>"people"}
---------------------------------------------
This indicates that the browser is sending a GET for a javascript
anonymous function declaration to my server. WTF? Oh, and I've tried
serving a static HTML page with Apache with the same script-include,
and my log doesn't show the dozens of "function ..." requests.
Any ideas? I can try to recognize the requests and simply deny them,
but that still leaves the browser waiting for 80-some round trips to
the server before the page is finished loading.
Thanks in advance,
