DAPI.FetchRenditionToStream() function - two requests??

I getting some strange behaviour from the DAPI.FetchRenditionToStream() function. For some reason, when my code hits this function, a second request is made to Livelink with almost identical parameters to the original request. The DAPI.FetchRenditionToStream() function is executed again (since the same parameters are in the request) but no third request to Livelink is made. Fine, it works, but the rest of my code cannot afford to be run twice. Can anyone explain why this is happening?cheers, chris

Hi Chris,

I have seen this happen with IE5x using a plugin using standard fetch. You get two almost identical fetches. I am not sure if this is the same thing that you are seeing.

I heard (you can check with support) that this is a known problem specifically with IE and Adobe plugins. The problem from a Livelink perspective is that you get multiple audit events happening. However, I also experienced this with other plugins, specifically Alternatiff, the tiff viewer.

I was considering trying to compare the parameters of two fetches to see if I could reliably ignore one. I never completed this.

Regards

Andrew Foti

Thanks Andrew,This problem is related and customer support was able to pinpoint the problem to the Adobe plugin. By the way, it affects Mozilla browser as well.Thanks again, chris
