132770 - Edit Page resends POST query without arguments

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 115832

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[I. Jakusziewski]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020302
BuildID:    2002031004

The "Edit Page" menu command when issued for a page that was the
result of a POST form query resends the query without arguments.
(GET query is resent OK).
Similar error occurs for "Page Source" menu command isuued in same
situation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make HTML page containing a FORM with METHOD=POST
2. Make CGI script recieving argumante from the previous page and
   generating a HTML page showing their values
3. Deploy the pages on the web server
4. Open the first page in Mozilla, submit the form, get the second page
5. Issue "Edit page" or "Page Source" menu command
6. See the CGI script result, the arguments were not sent

Actual Results:  I saw in the Composer window (and in page source window too)
the page from my CGI script saying that the necessary argument
was not provided (instead of the page shown in browser window).
When I changed the original form to METHOD=GET instead of GET,
everything worked OK.

Expected Results:  Netscape 4.x browser opens Composer windows (or page source
window)
showing the same page that is in browser window. Mozilla should too.
