140670 - Reload Fails on Local Disk Image

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 137819

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Felix Miata]

2002042608 OS/2 trunk

To Reproduce:
1-Open any HTML page
2-Open in same window or tab a binary image file from your HD
3-Replace the file opened in step 2 with a different image of same name
4-Hit reload button

Actual Behavior:
1-Original binary image file is displayed

Expected Behavior:
1-Replaced binary image file is displayed

I tried this with both GIF and JPG binary images, but imagine PNG and other
binary image files would be similarly mishandled.

The only workaround I've found is to hit the back button, going to the previous
HTML page, then in prefs clear disk and memory caches, then hit the forward button.

Actualy, you would have to hit shift-reload to get it to reload. Otherwise it is
loading from the cache.

Why would anyone want to reload from the cache?

Netscape 4's reload button produces the expected behavior, loading from the source.

I'm not convinced this belongs in file handling since it works with HTML files.

Probably something image related.

I am experiencing the same problem, except that it does not reload from internet
source.  the image is stuck in the cache and won't refresh.  the html text
portion updates just fine.  this problem could be showing up much more than is
realized.  windows xp rc3 2002052306

I just changed preferences from 'when page is out of date' to 'everytime i view
the page'.  This reloaded the page and solved the problem for me.  so... is the
'compare the page to the cache on the network' 'when page is out of date'
working properly?  the site i was viewing was a very basic web page built with
composer (which i assume might not have a date associated with it - i'm ignorant
in how things are considered out of date)
