Periodic updates from bits.wikimedia.org

Hi!

I noticed that content from bits.wikimedia.org (including WikiEditor)
is updated quite regularly - ~ every 20 minutes on Commons.

Such behavior is definitely creates problem for users with slow
connections or with payed data traffic.

Are JavaScript/CCS are really updated so often?

Eugene.

Can you elaborate a bit? (urls, timestamps, http headers, ..)

Hi, Krinkle!

I'm very sorry for beginner question, but how could get such log in
Firefox 14? Is some extension available which could dump all pages
with timestamps downloaded to view particular page? Or may be Firefox
could do this itself?

Eugene.

There's an extension called LiveHTTPHeaders which allows the relevant
request information to be captured and saved to a file.

http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/

Open it from the tools menu, then do the things that are slow while
it's opened, then click "save all" and save it to a file. Don't post
the file publically, since it will contain your login cookies, but you
can send it to Krinkle as an email attachment, if he wants it.

Or maybe do it in private browsing mode with no other tabs/windows
open and then immediately change your password (and log out+back in)
after you've saved the file? (and before distributing the file)
Anyway, certainly the safest thing is to just give it to someone
trusted (and not the whole list).

Hi, Tim!

Thank you for suggestion!

I installed LiveHTTPHeaders and sent two captures to Krinkle. Probably
will need to do more of them.

Eugene.
