20154 - Back button produes Browser Bug message on amazon.com

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17685

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Richard Zach]

Hitting the back button under certain conditions seems to cause problems with
resubmitting forms incorrectly.

To reproduce:
1. Go to http://amazon.com/
2. In the search box to the left, select "Books" and enter "Test"
3. Click "go"
4. The results listing comes up.  Select a title.
5. The "at a glance" page comes up for the title.
6. Click the Back button.

Observed behavior: amazon displays a page with the following message:

Browser Bug?

It would appear that the web browser you are using,
Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Linux; I),
does not know how to re-submit forms correctly when you try to reload a page. If
you want to
reload the page you were on, try using your browser's BACK button or command to
go back to
the previous page, and resubmit the form yourself, instead of using RELOAD.

Expected behavior: Return to the search result screen.

We don't currently repost forms when traversing session history.  This is
covered in bug 17685
