#1840 JS Location.reload() changes POST to GET and drops formdata

[Atsushi Nakagawa]

The implementation for Location.reload() is turning it into a Location.setHref(Location.getHref()), which naturally means every page gets reloaded as a GET request, making it an entirely different request.

Possible fix

The following isn't much thought out, but seems to fix POST loaded pages:

public void reload(final boolean force) throws IOException {
    final Page page = window_.getWebWindow().getEnclosedPage();
    final WebRequest request = page.getWebResponse().getWebRequest();
    final WebWindow webWindow = window_.getWebWindow();
    webWindow.getWebClient().download(webWindow, "", request, true, false, "JS location.reload()");
}

The link in the first paragraph is broken. Since edits are disabled, here's the url it's supposed to be:

Now fixed in SVN. Thanks for your report and sorry for the long delay before fixing this
