Details

I'm developing a software which uses a lot of CGI scripts (written in C). I use <input type=hidden ...> to send arguments to the CGI. But when I want to view page source of the CGI result pages, it seemed that it sent the requests to server again using the URL, which had no arguments inside. For example, I use <form method=post action=/xxx> <input type=hidden name=arg1 value=1> ... </form> to generate a result page. When I wanna show page source, it told me "No Argument assigned." hence I cannot see the result page source.

Summary: View Page Source for CGI-created page → View Page Source for result of POSTed form
Yes, that's bugging me, too. I'm using build 2001010420 on NT4 at the moment. You can reproduce this by loading the above URL http://optionsscheine1.onvista.de/cgi-bin/os-vergleich.mpl, entering some WKN, e.g. 716463, and then pressing "Vergleich starten". The resulting page has the same URL, but comes from a form POST. Now choose "view page source". Not only gets the page reloaded (which is always annoying, not only with POSTs - it should be in the cache), but the shown source is the source of the page *before* the form POST. I don't know if Networking is the right component, but it's probably better than Browser-General, so reassigning.
