118562 - "View Page Source" fails to show source of CURRENT page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 55583

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-21mdk i686)

"View Page Source" appears to cache somewhere -- Always works the 
1st time invoked, but if continuing in a CGI app which generates 
HTML output, invoking "View Page Source" on SUBSEQUENT CGI-generated 
pages, displays earlier (cached?) html when it should display the 
html for the current page.  I am a CGI developer and this is critical 
to me -- I love Mozilla, but am forced to use Netscape when debugging 
my CGI outputs :(  (this has always worked in Netscape, but has yet 
to work for me in either of the 2 versions of Mozilla I've tried).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Invoke a CGI script
2.  do a "View Page Source".
3.  Submit the CGI script (generate next page)
4.  do a "View Page Source".

     The html source will probably be the 1st page viewed rather 
than the current one.  If not, repeat steps 3 and 4 a couple of 
times.


Actual Results:       The html source will probably be the 1st page viewed
rather 
than the current one.  If not, repeat steps 3 and 4 a couple of 
times.


Expected Results:  I get the HTML source from the 1st page on which I did a 
"View Page Source".  It does not matter whether I do it from 
the View menu or right-click.  I am not using frames.


I should always view the latest HTML generated by the most 
recent invocation of the CGI script.  Works in Netscape.
If for any reason, you can't reproduce this, email me and I'll 
create a simple Perl CGI/test case for you.
