Had problems setting up a payment page, as the nivoslider sends a second request to the server. technically not a second request but points the image src to the current page.

we fixed the problem. line77

Have the same problem, took a while to find the culprit to be the nivoSlider. In jquery.nivo.slider.js line 77:

    // Set first background
    var sliderImg = $('<img class="nivo-main-image" src="#" />');
    sliderImg.attr('src', vars.currentImage.attr('src')).show();
    slider.append(sliderImg);

the sliderImg because of the src="#" makes the network call it appears even if it was not yet appended to the slider element. I'm guessing the browser/jquery makes some optimizations to request the resources in advance. I've eliminated the 'src="#"' and works ok on Chrome at least. I've updated to just

var sliderImg = $('<img class="nivo-main-image"/>');
