Using Commercial 2000012008 on WinNT 4.0 SP3. To repro: 1) open http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi 2) type "perf" into the keywords field 3) click "Submit query" 4) at bottom of results list, click "Change columns" 5) check one of the boxes that's currently unchecked 6) click "Submit" Expected: after a brief display of a page with the text "Resubmitting your query with new columns ..." , a second page will be displayed with the result list, now including newly-selected column. Actual: incomplete HTML page is displayed. Both on the visible page and in the View Source it abruptly ends with "Resubmitting your query with new columns ..." and absolutely no additional text or HTML markup afterwards. Status window displays "Document: Done (1.462 seconds)". Assigning to Networking because it seems like Mozilla is failing to wait for and get the second page, but I could be totally wrong about this. cc:ing Terry as he understands Bugzilla internals. Additional info: if you then re-enter and repeat your original query using the Bugzilla query page, you get the list including the additional column you asked to be added. So clearly, your request for the additional column was stored when you made it (in a browser cookie, perhaps?), but the second page of results was just never displayed.

Bugzilla is emitting a HTTP header of the form: Refresh: 0; URL=buglist.cgi?<insertTonsOfUrlParametersHere> Sounds like Mozilla is failing to handle the "Refresh:" tag properly. And yes, what bugzilla is doing here is slimy and wrong and disgusting. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't work...

Putting on pdt-, but needs fix for beta, thus adding that keyword.

Clearing PDT- since this is nominated for beta1 and needs PDT re-review.

warren, can you comment as to the severity of this bug fo pdt please. Would you consider this a beta stopper?

Jud any recent changes that might affect Refresh?

It's anyone's call. If bugzilla is doing something slimy, then it's arguable that we need to fix it, although it sounds like we're probably breaking compatibility which may show up again later.

Verified dup of bug 17570 "[FEATURE] HTTP Refresh (change columns in bugzilla)"
