GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 95797
Options don't match message when prompting whether to re-send POSTDATA
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
If you try and go "Back" in your browser history to a page that was generated using some POST DATA you get a dialog popping up that says: "The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA that has expired from cache. If you resend the data, any action the form carried out (such as a search or online purchase) will be repeated. To resend the data, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel." The options you're given however are "Yes" and "No". They obviously need to reflect the message otherwise you totally confuse the user!
Ugh what the fuck. We need to verify if mozilla does the same. If so it's a mozilla bug otherwise we may be doing something very very wrong.
Well let's confirm it, it's a bug even if mozilla does it too.

Sorry patch gone onto the wrong bug ....
This bug still exists (also reported in bugs.debian.org/182486). Unfortunately I've not found any websites which use HTTP POST to test whether it is also a bug in mozilla

Regarding Marco Pesenti Gritti's early comments, Mozilla does present the same dialog message. However, Mozilla's buttons really are "OK" and "Cancel". If Galeon is going to have differently-labeled buttons, then it will need different text to go with it.

Crispin Flowerday <crispin@theflowerdays.com> claims that this is fixed by mozilla-1.4 in a message to debian-gtk-gnome. I'm not been able to test it at the moment.
This is now fixed for all mozilla 1.3 as well. (1.4+ uses prompts provided by mozilla).
