167458 - Saying OK to a POSTDATA reload warning dialog should not result in a new session history entry

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 227672

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Darin Fisher]

saying OK to a POSTDATA reload warning dialog results in new session history entry.

1) load http://unagi.mcom.com/~darinf/upload/test.html
2) enter file to upload
3) press submit
4) load another url
5) clear cache
6) press back
7) say OK to POSTDATA reload warning dialog
8) press back
 
notice that you are prompted again if you want to rePOST the form.  this seems
strange to me as i would expect the reload to replace the existing session
history entry instead of inserting a new one.  in fact, it appears that all
session history entries ahead of this one get erased presumably because the
rePOST is treated like a new document load.

perhaps this behavior is by design, but i find it very awkward.  afterall, if i
say it is OK to rePOST, then why would i care about the old session history
entry?  and probably i wouldn't like losing the ability to press forward to get
back to stuff i had previously browsed.
