Answer 1

To me it only happen if I write/paste to chrome url field. It is never triggered from anchor tag. If you log url of request you can see it is sent two times.

My was /users. I added consloe.log() in code (node server) and you could see /users appear twice. And since i was not logged in app I would get double notification messages.

This example can reproduce it:

Script 1 name: redirect.php

Script 2 name: to.php

 ';
}

unset($_SESSION['x']);

So if you copy paste "SERVERNAME/redirect.php" in url field eventualy you get doubled messages.
