What happens when you don't send the request after receiving the response? Please try and report back.


No matter what we've tried so far, the request ends up being sent.

The first time I was just watching, determined not to press the button, but when I received the response, I was startled into pressing it.

The second time, I just stepped back from my keyboard, and my cat came flying out of the back room and walked on the keyboard, triggering the request.

The third time, I was holding my cat, and a train rumbled by outside, rattling my desk and apparently triggering the switch to send the request.

The fourth time, I checked the tracks, was holding my cat, and stepped back from my keyboard. Next thing I heard was a POP from my ceiling, and the request was triggered. There was a small hole burned through my keyboard when I examined it. Best I can figure, what was left of a meteorite managed to hit at exactly the right time.

I'm not going to try for a fifth time.

Looks like we don't have a choice.
