No. When getting to the itinerary page your itinerary needs some time to load. We are starting a loop function to wait for the itinerary to show up. Since we do not want an inifinit loop we need to define a timeout. When the itinerary has not been loaded at that point, we stop the extraction function. As far as i know IAkH is working on hooking the request itself, but anyhow. While testing the changes i faced the timeout a couple of times. It's no big deal though and nothing to worry about. Otherwise i would have mentioned it here.
Once again: we are not manipulating any requests regarding matrix.itasoftware.com
What you mean is hardcoded within the serverside software and i think there is, will and should be no way or attempt to bypass that.
