Hi,
I notice the following requested URIs in the network tab of Firebug about every one minute.
http://localhost/splunk/en-US/util/log/js
http://localhost/splunk/en-US/api/messages/index
http://localhost/splunk/en-US/api/search/jobs/control
questions about this:
1, what are the purposes to do these requests?
2, how to disable these requests?
3, it will get "401 Unauthorized" response, but what does "Unauthorized" mean? session timeout? sometimes, it get unauthorized response after a period less that what i defined for tools.sessions.timeout and sessionTimeout. so what can impact session timeout period?
I use iframe with src="/splunk/account/insecurelogin?username=admin&password=changeme&return_to=/splunk/en-US/app/mysearch/myflashtimeline" to embed splunk view into third party pages. But, if users stay at that page without any operation, then background request will get "401 Unauthorized" and the iframe will redirect to "http://localhsot/splunk/en-US/account/login?return_to=/splunk/app/mysearch/myflashtimeline"
then "http://localhost/splunk/en-US/app/search",
then "http://localhost/splunk/en-US/app/search/dashboard"
then "http://localhost/splunk/en-US/config?autoload=1&namespace=search".
So the users will be puzzled to see search/dashboard and lost their search result after they are back to the page, and this is why i want to disable requests in background.
Thanks & Regards.

it shows that background requests do not refresh the session. Why? Is the session used in splunk web the same to the session use in the general web application such as JSP pages?
