• Bug#267113: mozilla-browser: "save page as" broken

    From Frederik Eaton@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 20 21:00:28 2004

    Package: mozilla-browser
    Version: 2:1.7.2-3
    Severity: normal

    On some pages (maybe those with postdata? e.g. I've been having
    problems with various pages on http://www.southwest.com in the ticket-purchasing sequence) when I select "Save Page As...", I see a
    dialog box which says "The link could not be saved. The web page might
    have been removed or had its name changed." I can work around this by
    selecting "View Page Source" and copying the contents of the window
    that appears into a file, but I don't see why that should be
    necessary. If "View Page Source" works, then it means that Mozilla has
    the original contents of the page cached in memory somewhere. When I
    select "Save Page As...", I would expect Mozilla to save exactly this
    data - the original page contents that it has in memory - to a file,
    whether or not the page was generated with post data, and whether or
    not the page can be re-fetched from the server.
