View source on a page generated by a post request seems to attempt to re-get the page, but this time without passing any parameters. Attempting to re-fetch the page for a view source or save as operation is wrong anyway, regardless of whether the parameters are re-sent or not: the browser should save/show the page source it _already has_, rather then triggering the same action again - this refetch behaviour can also be very annoying when in an admin interface and you hit the back button- it would be nice if there were options other than 're-trigger the action' and 'do nothing' available to you.

Reporter, there are a few bugs related to the one you report here. Please view them and if you find one that is the same (or covers your issue anyway), please mark this one as a duplicate. Bug 6119 -- Fixed but contains links to related non-fixed bugs. Bug 40867 -- This one looks very similar Bug 55583 -- Also similar Thank you for your time and help, Fabian.

40867 is sufficiently similar that I guess this should be marked as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40867 ***

Acutally bug 55583 (view source from POST request) would have been the right duplicate (which depends on bug 40867), but who cares ... verifying.
