If this is a concern, you've made some very poor decisions.

  Like what? Supporting ie 7 & 8? Using relative urls?
  - BadCRC 14y ago
    like worrying about twice as many hits to stylesheets (which are typically static content)

      It's cached by URL, so I would assume (but haven't tested) that a different protocol would be cached separately.

        From a security perspective it certainly should be.

  What about large assets, like big splash images? Those can be quite a bandwidth hog. EDIT: from the post, IE8 only downloads stylesheets twice. Nevermind.

IE certainly has strangest of bugs.

You really care about that? Well, relative URLs (and maybe using a basename meta tag) might be a workaround. But seriously, I wouldn't care about these Microsoft's bugs.

But only for uncached resources - see Eric Lawrence's comment: “Internal to Trident, the download queue has “de-duplication” logic to help ensure that we don’t download a single resource multiple times in parallel. Until recently, that logic had a bug for certain resources (like CSS) wherein the schema-less URI would not be matched to the schema-specified URI and hence you’d end up with two parallel requests.” http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2010/02/10/5a-missing-schema-double-download/#comment-2319 http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2010/02/10/5a-missing-schem... You could use a resource loader if you really cared but with IE8 under 10% and dropping I'd recommend keeping your site clean and maintainable – anyone using IE8 at this point is used to the web being slow and ugly so something like this will be the least of their worries.
