167705 - Outdated source view after page refresh

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Brian Smith]

I don't know if this affects entire page refreshes as well, but I've seen it
(and can easily replicate it) with single frames.  If a page refresh happens,
reloading a dynamic page at the same URL as the current page, the source viewer
shows the source for the previous version of the page, not the new one.

Can you be a little more detailed, e.g. Mozilla version.
It would be very good if you could publish a page that refreshes itself, and
what exactly should be the steps to reproduce.

This could help narrow down the problem.

I tried to reproduct this using my.yahoo.com (I refreshed the page, that clicked
view-source, and the HTML source that I saw was the one corresponding to the
page I see), so this works for me with build 2002090608 on Windows NT.

I'm using build 2002072204 (1.1b) under NT.  I've just tried to create a page to
demonstrate the problem (both with a page refresh and frame refresh, now that
I've had time to test things further), and with apparently similar circumstances
I can't replicate the problem.  I can demonstrate it quite well using the server
software I'm developing at work, but unfortunately I can't open that up on a
public port to show the problem.  There's obvious differences between that
server and what I'm using for the test page (Apache), but the one common factor
that I thought was key at first was the refresh.

The problem doesn't occur with a manual refresh... only an automatic timed
refresh (with the appropriate META tag).

reporter (Brian): can you reproduce this bug with a recent build of mozilla (for
example, 1.2.1)? if so, please comment again with details. if not, please
resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. thanks.

It's still happening, as of the official 1.2.1 build.  I wasn't able to get it
to happen with a normal page, but inside of a frame is where I see it (in this
case, it's a single frame occupying the entire view, and the dynamic document is
in it).  Don't ask me why it's like that... I just inherited the server code, I
didn't design it.

This feature has been in the Mozilla source tree for a number of weeks as of
01/13/2003.  Marking FIXED.

I meant to say that it has been in the Mozilla source tree for a number of weeks
as of 01/13/2004, forgot it was 2004 :).
