[Seaside-dev] Re: Enabling cookies causes callback links to incorrectly redirect in Firefox

[Lukas Renggli]

That was a tricky one:

Unfortunately the Mozilla engine does prefetching of some "random"
links on websites
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Link_prefetching_FAQ). This
aggressive prefixing is a highly controversial topic even in the
FireFox community itself, because of all kinds of issues.

Now obviously this prefetching is generally something we don't want to
happen with Seaside applications as callbacks could unwillingly be
triggered. I changed the Seaside code to deny all prefetch requests in
WAApplication. This should solve the problem:

  - added a tester for prefetch requests
