Yieldbot: Multiple requestBids Not Working

[ehoch]

So we currently split our ad auctions up amongst our ATF and BTF units and run multiple Prebid auctions. Unfortunately, the Yieldbot adaptor does not work with this.

Easy to replicate. Define two ad units. Run requestBids twice - once the first ad unit and a separate one on the second . Then run yieldbot.dumpLog() in the console.

You'll see that only the initial ad slot that is defined gets a call to getSlotCriteria() with the handleUpdateState() is run. You'll only get bid responses on the initial slots.

I believe that PR #498 can address this if the Yieldbot adapter can be updated to set the bid response ID to match the bid request ID in these locations:

@elljoh @amcmillan01
Either of you want to try and fix this? Been open for a long time.

@elljoh You might try removing the cache=true flag from the adloader.loadScript call in the adapter and just letting their script load twice.
