95205 - posted urls are not reposted on reload

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 89309

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[gentics]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010813
BuildID:    2001081303

when reloading a form which was submited via POST, the page it not posted again,
but loaded and displayed from the cache.

the workaround is:
>edit - preferences - advanced - cache - clear disc cache
>reload
instead of:
>reload

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. hit submit on http://www.gentics.com/mozilla/
2. hit reload several times
3. see the timestamp NOT changing

Actual Results:  the page of the last post is displayed.

Expected Results:  mozilla should reload (ergo repost) the page and display a
newer page/timestamp.

this bug makes developing of web applications impossible. 

i examined a couple of bug reports in the last days about reload/post problems.
although a similar problem (63293) was FIXED/VERIFIED ages ago it doesn't work
in the current (2001081303) or stable (0.9.3) build. other bug reports like
(92456) don't exactly cover this problem.

according to a comment in #90098 LOAD_BYPASS_CACHE is only passed on ****-reload. 

my guess is that a form is supposed to be reposted on reload. not only on
****-reload. 
if it is supposed to be reposted on shift-reload only, it IS still a bug that
this feature ist not listed in the user-interface (menu, dialog...). :) it took
me "ages" to find out about shift-reload at all.

No, just their testing.

Anyway this looks like a dupe of bug 89309 which looks like a dupe of bug 92456.
