F#@&ing view source!
by Acidus at 1:25 pm EST, Feb 1, 2007

Why oh why does Firefox send an HTTP request when I click "View Source?" I already have the source! Its being rendered! Its in the cache! Why the hell are you fetching it again?

This is especially nasty when looking at the source for the response to an HTTP POST.

That's it. Firefox is going on my "punch in the face" list.

Why does it say "paper jam" when there IS no "paper jam!"

No, seriously, I've seen this before, and it sucks. The same query does not always produce the same source. I want the source I'm viewing not the source of another transaction that I'm not viewing.

[ Agreed, that's retarded, and I didn't know it did that.

Serves me right for assuming that the damn browser did the logical and show you what it's actually rendered for me.

Tards. -k]
