243534 - Page is expired do you want to re-post message should show info about the original and target page.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Places, enhancement)

Description

[Jesse Houwing]

Currently if I choose a page from the history that was generated by a POST
action or hit back when the page has expired results in a messagebox asking me
if I want to repost the values.

It would be nice if mozilla could tell me something about the page the data came
from and the page that is being refreshed.

I was thinking something in the line of:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The page you're trying to view has expired and was generated by a POST request.
etc etc...

Originating page:
title: "Search form"
url: http://page uri

Target page:
last title: "Search results"
url" http://page uri

This will give a better idea if it is a good idea to repost the page. 

If the originating page is

title "Customers"
url: http://host/customers.html

and the target page is:

title "Delete action succesful"
url: http://host/deletecustomer.html

                                 [ YES ]   [ NO ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Then I probably don't want to do this again, but there would be no way to know
from the dialog.

Tentatively moving to Bookmarks & History

I think this is in shared Places code. Moving.

Places doesn't store history for POST pages (they are filtered at the docshell level)

Comment 6

[Roger Lynn]

So the bug should be moved to the docshell then?
