Hi James Single page apps! These become more and more popular with frameworks like RactiveJS or AngularJS. There the first request is a HTTP request, for any subsequent requests an AJAX one is generated. The problem is the first HTTP request. The framework is unable to detect 404s with the first request because the status code cannot be obtained via JavaScript, hence a second request is made. In my eyes, a waste of bandwidth.
