From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS 5.6 sun4u; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010123 BuildID: 2001012321 view the page source for pages generated from POST requests appears to return the result of a GET request against the URL that was POSTed to. i will do some tcpdumping to see what's really going on soon. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. visit the above url 2. enter a bug number 3. click "Show" 4. the page submits the query to bugzilla, but via POST instead of GET. 5. when the results page shows up, select View->Page Source, or do a Ctrl+U Actual Results: shows the source of the base URL, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi Expected Results: show the source of the entry for the bug ID that was entered. if this *is* actually making another hit to the network to fetch data, then poorly-written server-side applications will receive the request a second time, and make take action on the user's behalf that the user did not intend.
