103150 - View Frame or Page Source after a POST displays wrong source

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 64100

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Dennis Ballance]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091303

After submitting a POST, selecting View Page/Frame (as applicable in the
situation) will download the source of the URL that was specified in the ACTION
tag of the posted form. This often is NOT the same as the text displayed in the
browser (as the server generated content based on additional parameters passed
in with the form that aren't present simply by doing a GET on the ACTION url).
Obviously, this makes it challenging to evaluate the html the server is
generating from the given POST. I haven't tried it yet, but the results of the
POST of this page may serve as a good example.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Locate or create a POST form where the server returns info not based on the
ACTION tag
2.Submit form
3.Select View Page Source.

Indeed, selecting COMMIT in the Bugzilla entry form results in a page indicating
that emails have been sent. If View Source is selected, the source displayed has
different text (requesting the user to click "back" and re-enter information).
View Source should display the currently-rendered html, not re-load it from the
server.
