97972 - Cancelled back changes history

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 92824

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Michael T. Babcock]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080104

If you click back to go to a page with POSTDATA, Mozilla asks if you wish to
resubmit (OK/Cancel).  If you click Cancel, you remain on the same page, but
your history (in the back/forward buttons) moves back to the page before the
present one.  The state of your back/forward history should remain unchanged if
you Cancel this operation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit a page where the form is submitted by POST
2.Click the submit button.
3.Go to another page by URL or link
4.Click Back to return to the results page
5.Click Cancel to the question presented
6.Notice that "forward" takes you to the current page (instead of being
disabled) and "back" takes you one _more_ page back.

reporter, do you have a url where you tried this?

I'm trying to create one, but what I do doesn't recreate the problem.  I'm not
sure under what conditions Mozilla asks if I'm sure I want to re-post the form
data.  If I had those conditions, I could make it work.

This is dupe of 92824. Mozilla will ask you about reposting if a post data
result expires from cache. YOu can simulate that condition by clearing  your
cache after submitting a form.
