Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 55583

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Robert Jirik]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7+)

Having guestbook, form on the page, post method, two elements - input type
hidden, name action, value new && submit - value new contribution.

The problem is: when action is null (means user only wants to view the
guestbook), it writes out the articles from the database (let's call this 'view
database'). When you click 'new submission', PHP writes out new form, where you
fill your name, etc ... ('new contribution')

*When I want to view the source of the 'new contribution' page, it still shows
the source of the 'view database' page ... I thought, that the problem is caused
by the proxy (squid @ another machine), but I have set up a direct connect and
the problem remains ...*

There are two same forms (on on the top, one on the bottom of the page,
described above), and one form where you can set up, how many articles should be
viewed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a page, form 'post-methoded'
2. submit the form
3. try to view the source

Actual Results:  Showed the source of the old page

Expected Results:  Huh, should view the new source ;))

The form:
<FORM METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="action" VALUE="new">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="go" VALUE="New contribution [in Czech]" CLASS="input">
</FORM>

Repeats twice on the same page, using same item names (go, action)
