ajaxStart() is inadvertently fired when the page is loaded through HTTPS and getScript() calls the same domain via HTTPS too

ajaxStart() is inadvertently fired when the page is loaded through HTTPS and getScript() calls the same domain via HTTPS too.

Bug occurs (https) -an alert shows "booom"-:  https://unihostbrasil.com.br/diversos/bug-jquery-ajaxstart/

Bug doesn't occurs (http):  http://unihostbrasil.com.br/diversos/bug-jquery-ajaxstart/

It does not occur if:

• The page with the script isn't called through HTTPS (sample above)
• getScript() doesn't call the same domain through HTTPS

Additional info:

• Occurs with all jQuery versions (since 1.0)
• Tested and reproduced under Firefox 7, Chrome 14, IE 8 and Opera 11.

Why not? ajaxStart() cannot be invoked just if the page is loaded through HTTPS (and getScript() call the same domain through HTTPS too). It is expected the same behavior independent of the protocol.

Not it's not. Different protocol means a different domain altogether and, as specifically stated on jQuery's documentation, global events are not supported for cross-domain requests BUT they WILL be fired for same-domain requests.

What you need is to set the global option to false. Which means that:

• you use ajax instead of getScript for better control,
• OR you set global to false globally using ajaxSetup

Tks for your response. You're right, I had problems with browser caching that masked my tests, sorry for the inappropriate bug report.
