Hey all,

Actually, I remembered going back to the original post - Firefox
doesn't actually make the extra request.  Chrome and Safari send these
requests to my tomcat server (resolving in a 404), but Firefox does
not.  However, for some reason Firebug registers the request and does
not resolve it.  I suspect Firefox generates the request and then
discards it before actually making it, but Firebug doesn't realize
this.

Thoughts?
