Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 61363

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041220 K-Meleon/0.9

If e.g. debug information in scripts ar printed out before the <DOCTYPE...
firefox sends the same request twice to the destination.

This is serious for scripts. Actions are performed twice!! We are unfortunately
not able to use firefox futher on for developement issus!

We figured out this behaviour in the 1.0 Version but it seemed to be a single
failure. Now in 1.0.2 we can reproduce the behaviour on any server with any client.

Thanks in advance!
Felix

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any PHP script in the browser (firefox 1.0.2 and before)
2. print debug information e.g. "TEST"
3. print the html valid html source of a page beginning with the doctype , aso.

Actual Results:  
the browser sends the request twice

Expected Results:  
send the request one single time

Can this bug be reproduced with the latest Trunk build?

Instead of outputing invalid HTML, why not place the "debug information as HTML
comment into the HTML?

Hi Steve,
I just tried to reproduce the behaviour with the firefox Version that you gave me.
Unfortunately with success.

Hi Ng Ming,
the actual problem is, that hundreds of websites hosted on our servers are
unfortunately not valid - and double load of these websites and the problems
caused by this will increase our support :(

Other bugs POST send twice ended up being duped to bug 61363, can you please
read that bug and see if that is the issue you are having?
