Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 64100

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Damien]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18pre21 i686; en-US; 0.9) Gecko/20010303
BuildID:    2001030321

View Source on the html generated from a cgi appears to resubmit the CGI without
the data from the original submission rather than pulling it from the cache.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/People/
Fill in the form on the right with "andrew"
When the CGI has returned the matching names, go to View Source.
Look at the title (in the 1st few lines of the source) - it says
"Search string too short" which is the response that putting in a
blank input will return.

Actual Results:  Appears to resubmit form

Expected Results:  Get source from the cache

Only tested it with post method, not get
