From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 BuildID: 2001080104 i have made every attempt to make this bug report clear. if i failed miserably, please contact me at abarch@airadvice.com i have a web site that uses perl cgi, and therefore relies on form parameters to transmit data. when i use the 'view page source' option, mozilla, instead of displaying the HTML code that it is referencing to display the current page, requests the page again from the server - whats more, when it does this, it forgets to use the parameters that were originally passed. this should be an easy change, right? PLEASE fix this by having it display the HTML it is referencing, rather than downloading a new copy of the HTML with the parameters. this is cruical for error checking. this software is getting better. keep up the good work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.log in to a server that uses CGI/parameters. (try yahoo mail?) 2.request a page that uses parameters 3. request the page source for this page. Actual Results: the browser either is: re-requesting the document from the server without the parameters -or-requests a unique copy from the server with no parameters Expected Results: all it needs to do is display the HTML that it used to generate the page that is being displayed in the browser window. it also doesnt seem to pass the correct browser identification info for the server, so that you get errors like the one below! </frameset> <noframes> <h2>Sorry.</h2> <p> <b>Yahoo! Mail requires the use of Netscape Navigator 3.0, Internet Explorer 3.0 or better.</b> </noframes> <!-- YahooMail --> <!-- SUCCESS --> </html> <!--0.40788--> <!-- compressed -->
