From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020208 BuildID: 2002020811 the url referenced is a dynamic page generated from a form on itself. problem is that the view source command only shows the source for the initial, 0-state page (I am assuming that the source is cached as to avoid an extra http connection to the server just to get the source). The problem with this is when I'm viewing a dynamic page, when I complete and submit the form which posts to the same url, the cached source is not renewed - so new html is displayed in the browser, but not in the source viewer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. view source. 2. put some info in the form and hit submit. 3. view source again. Actual Results: note that the second time you hit 'view source', you get the same source as the first time, while the look and code of the actual page is different. Expected Results: should have refreshed the source code every time the page itself is refreshed in the browser window, perhaps, as to display real source code.
