47906 - Cached page alway used on HTTP Location redirects

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 41950

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect, P3)

Description

[Bryan Silverthorn]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12-20smp i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000731
BuildID:

When the browser is redirected with an HTTP Location: redirect, the cached page
is alway used for the redirect target. This prevents many dynamically generated
pages from functioning correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://pcdsweb.pcds.org/other/moztest/mozcount.php?action=disp
2.Click the "Increment" link

Actual Results:  The number displayed is the same.

Expected Results:  The number should be incremented by one; it has been, but the
cached page doesn't reflect this. If you reload, it refreshes the page and the
increment can be viewed. It works as expected (page is not cached) in NS4 and IE4.

another wierd but true...i think this has more to do with the fact that it's
redirecting back to the same page, and something's screwing up not reloading,
then just the fact that it's redirecting. (my 2c)
