Uploadify strange GET request

Question

I have an issue with the actual version of Uploadify (v3.1). I read the docs, the source and browse Google and StackOverflow but I can't find where my problem is. I have a basic form used to upload files on an internal server. I decided to use Uploadify and to manage all the Php with Symfony 2. It was not easy at first but everything works perfectly now. But when I look at my console, I see that uploadify is making a GET request after init and after each of my uploads. The route called does not exist and I don't need any more action for this page.

Although this is over a year old ....

I was facing the same issue, and had 10 - 20 instances on a page (so you imagine 10 - 20 background requests).

The solution from here seems to fix the problem.

Solution: find the following code in the upper part of the jquery.uploadify js file:

```
this.settings.upload_url = SWFUpload.completeURL(this.settings.upload_url);this.settings.button_image_url = SWFUpload.completeURL(this.settings.button_image_url)

and rewrite it to:

this.settings.upload_url = SWFUpload.completeURL(this.settings.upload_url);this.settings.button_image_url = this.settings.button_image_url ? SWFUpload.completeURL(this.settings.button_image_url) : this.settings.button_image_url
```
