163626 - Never (remember) for this site should only consider hostname part of URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 63271

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Hari Bhaskaran]

I am developing a site where the user would switch
between "Basic" and "Advanced" modes of an HTML form.
Essentially a CGI form generates a form with 5 or 10
fields depending on which 'mode' he is in. Since I
want the form data (whatever he/she has already typed
in) to be preserved between such 'switching',
the "switch" is nothing but a form button, which 
will post all existing values to the CGI, while
it regenerates the same form with more/less fields
this time.

Somehow mozilla thinks this is a "frequently" used
form (since it may be see the same data posted more
than once) and asks the user whether he :) should 
remember it for me.

My URLs contain session-ids + random data. This
means no two URLs are alike. So the message will
popup again even if I chose "Never for this site".
After a while, naturally, I find that my preferences
is filled with hundreds of URLs to igore. Is there
a way to make it ignore everything under my hostname,
instead of getting specific with complete URL.

I can't give a URL yet, but I will try to update
this bug with a working sample as soon as I can.
