30252 - Going back in the history to CGI scripts doesn't work properly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 1718

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect, P3)

Description

[James Pattie]

I'm working on an internal software application that uses CGI scripts for
everything.  When using M14 and going backwards or forwards in the history, the
previous screens form values are not being submitted again, which causes my
scripts to generate the correct error messages for when someone goes to them
without specifying the needed data.  This also happens when I try to view source
on a page.

We currently do not have a demo available that you can access, but are planning
on going public with the application in the near future.   If this bug is not
resolved before then, we will update it and provide a link to our demo for you
to test against.

I have a test page at http://www.vortxweb.net/ccs-pg/my-cgi/toykar/chayka5.cgi
that is having the same problem. There are 4 cgi scripts total, submitting from
one page initiates the next one. In addition, the external style sheets are
ignored on all but the first page (I think this is already logged as another bug).

This sounds reminiscent of bug 27513, "back button fails after bad login"
