Comment #3 on issue 4650 by dhhwai: View source grabs wrong source file when form post uses the same url over and over http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4650
From [email protected]: "when you "view source", you're really opening a new tab that opens the page again and displays the source rather than renders the page." Well stop doing that then! No, "view source" should *NOT* be opening a new tab that opens the page again; that is clearly *NOT* the thing to do! "View source" should show the original content that was downloaded from the resource when the request was made. It's that simple; that's the "source" (at least originally) of what a user sees in the screen. The fact is that the browser _did_ already download the original request content, and either rendered it or executed dynamic code in it as necessary. As you say correctly, to view the "current" state especially of a dynamic page, use the Javascript Console. [email protected]: "so we cannot display the current HTML - this is why a new request is made" Yes, I know you won't be able to display the "current" HTML especially of a dynamic page, but _no one expects you to_! The functionality of "view source" again, is to show the source contents of the original request, so do *NOT* make a new request for view source. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
