Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012 BuildID: 2001101201 I do lots of web app programming and I use view source quite a bit. One thing I've noticed is for example when I submit a form using a "post" method to www.somewhere.com/webapps/test.jsp not test.jsp?name=john&last=doe it doesn't use the cache from the disk to view the result of what was "POST"ed. It just resubmits to the same test.jsp without any form parameters. Shouldn't it use a cache copy to view the source of the current page I am viewing? This is the only reason I don't just use mozilla as opposed to that old netscape 4.xx. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to a form that submits using post method and has required parameters. 2.Submit the form. 3.Now view source and see if you get the same source as the page you are viewing. In my instance my web app just throws an error because the page was resubmitted using a blank form when clicking view source. Actual Results: A blank form was sent and view source didn't match the output. Expected Results: View source should show the results I am current viewing.
