Ping
An entry was just added for: * Pinging when you click a link. See browser.send_pings
I was wondering if this really belongs in the article since it involves an action on the part of the user (clicking a link). The title and first sentence of the article imply that these connections are automatically established when Firefox starts up. Alice 01:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- I wondered same as you. Couldn't the ping nevertheless happen at startup if link prefetching is enabled? -- Tony 01:25, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- * Prefetching links if the page it's on defines any... is already included in the article. Alice 01:30, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- yes, yes, but what about if one of those prefetched links has a ping= attribute? Wouldn't that ping the target of said attribute in addition to that of the link? -- Tony 01:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- In any case, it would still be the result of prefetching, wouldn't it? From what I read in the linked Prefetching FAQ, prefetching can be disabled by setting "network.prefetch-next" to "false". Anyway, I'll wait to see if FatJohn has any comments since he added the "ping" entry Alice 01:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
