Rails spinoffs - Jun 2007 - "connection timed out" error using PeriodicalUpdater

I''m using prototype.js in an embedded application.  The web server is
boa version 0.94.

I am using PeriodicalUpdater to update various bits of the UI.  All
seems to work exactly as expected (with one exception which I''ll get
to in a moment).  This is a very neat package!  Thanks to all who have
developed it.

The issue:  in reviewing the server error log file I saw a large
number of error messages occuring at the update interval (one minute):

70.97.46.XX - - [26/Jun/2007:22:06:50 +0000] request
"(null)" ("(null)"): connection timed out
70.97.46.XX - - [26/Jun/2007:22:07:53 +0000] request
"(null)" ("(null)"): connection timed out
70.97.46.XX - - [26/Jun/2007:22:08:53 +0000] request
"(null)" ("(null)"): connection timed out
70.97.46.XX - - [26/Jun/2007:22:09:56 +0000] request
"(null)" ("(null)"): connection timed out
70.97.46.XX - - [26/Jun/2007:22:10:56 +0000] request
"(null)" ("(null)"): connection timed out
70.97.46.XX - - [26/Jun/2007:22:11:59 +0000] request
"(null)" ("(null)"): connection timed out

In my simplest usage case, updating the date & time in the page
header, my call to PeriodicalUpdater looks like this:

new
Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(''date'',''/dyn-images/header-long.html'',
{method: ''get'', frequency: ''60''});

Any ideas why I''m getting the null requests?  BTW, I have verified
that the errors stop if I don''t call PeriodicalUpdater :-)

Thanks!

Steve
