Details

Steps to recreate: * Go to http://www.moo.ca/5641 * Submit the form (which loops back to itself). Note that the referer is correctly set as [http://www.moo.ca/5641]. * Press the back button once. Press the forward button once, and Confirm that you want to repost. * Note that the referer was not sent this time. (Side note: Why does Mozilla insist on resubmitting the form's data when you go forwards? All other browsers just pull the page out of the history, without needing to speak to the server at all. Is this a bug or a feature? Personally I hate it.)
