481834 - Not displaying the right source code if there are 2 different pages in cache with the same url.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136633

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[lacteus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7

If I open the same dynamic page (same url) but with a different content, the source code is always displaying the source from the last loaded page, even in the previous loaded page.

So the source code is not matching what I see in the previous tab.

It's particulary disappointing when coding a website. I know there are plugins like Firebug, but sometimes I want to see the exact source code I'm getting from the server. And I want to work with tabs :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a dynamic page (like php, asp or jsp) in a tab (url: http://mysite/page.php)
2. Open the same dynamic page in a second tab, but with a different content (same url: http://mysite/page.php)
3. (OPTIONNAL) Close the (tab) last loaded page.
4. Show the source code from step 1 on the first tab : the source code is the one from the last loaded page (the second tab source code).


Actual Results:  
The source code is the one from the last loaded page (the second tab source code).
More disturbing when you closed the last page.

Expected Results:  
The source code displays exactly what I see in the current tab.

Maybe there is a same problem with PDF files opened with Adobe plugin.

If I open a first PDF from an url, then generating a different PDF, but coming from the same url, the first PDF is shown again.

If I close the tabs with the url, then getting again the PDF, I get the right one, not in cache.

Using No-Cache Headers tricks is not working.

Disturbing when testing PDF generation :)

Why the hell do you consider this incomplete? What more do you want to know than what was already written? Did you try reproducing?
