title: jQuery AJAX request resends after abort on long requests
body: <p>I have a very large report I have to generate, and I'm using two jQuery AJAX requests to do so. The first sends the command to check the report. The second is a "checkStatus" function that just reports back the status of a flag that I set in the original function.</p>
  
  <p>However, after about a minute, the original request reads "aborted" and the server logs show that a second "getReport" request is started. Firebug doesn't show a second request going out, but there definitely is one coming in. The server is definitely not timing out on the original request, because the report eventually gets generated. Only problem is, if it's a 15 minute report, I have 15 server hungry requests running simultaneously, which eventually crashes our server. Lastly, if I close the browser window that the request is running in, it doesn't result in multiple requests, so it's definitely coming from the browser. </p>
  
  <p>Oh and it works fine on my local host, but dies on the real server, despite identical everything (even the php version).</p>
  
  <p>It's a super weird problem. Any ideas?</p>
