Created attachment 39923 [details] Test case Open attached test case and observe web inspector resources tab. Two requests are made for images when only one is valid/required. This is not a web inspector related bug - my web server access logs show them too (tested with local images, not Google of course). Gecko/Presto behaves as expected - no redundant requests. Is this intended in WebKit? As that kind of resource "override" is useful, especially with newer CSS features, such as media queries, where it makes sense to use conditions for different/smaller/larger background images.

I am not able to reproduce this bug in Safari Technology Preview 152 (by disabling cache with "Web Inspector" tools in Network tab) and it only show two request (one tow bugzilla server) and another is "image" from the other URL by upgrading to HTTPS. Same is case with Chrome Canary 107 and Firefox Nightly 106. Going to mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Please reopen if it is still reproducible. Thanks!
