https and form back button not working

[davez]

Hi,

Because I'm using https on a sites now, if I perform a search on one of the Fabrik lists, I am then sending a POST to the list. Then if I click one of the listed records for a detail view, and then click the "back" button, it automatically tries to resend the POST on the list page. Firefox and other browsers do not allow that with secure connections.

I get this error from Firefox:

Document Expired
This document is no longer available.
The requested document is not available in Firefox's cache.As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.
Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website.

Any idea about how to resolve this without hacking into the back button?

I don't think so, no.

How come you're not using the following code for firefox? It seems to work fine these days.
components/com_fabrik/helpers/parent.php

public static function goBackAction()
    {
        jimport('joomla.environment.browser');
        if (JBrowser::getInstance()->isBrowser('msie'))
        {
            $gobackaction = 'onclick="parent.location='' . JArrayHelper::getValue($_SERVER, 'HTTP_REFERER') . ''"';
        }
        else
        {
            $gobackaction = 'onclick="parent.location='' . JArrayHelper::getValue($_SERVER, 'HTTP_REFERER') . ''"';
            //$gobackaction = 'onclick='history.back();'';
        }
        return $gobackaction;
    }

Okay, how about this:

    public static function goBackAction()
    {
        jimport('joomla.environment.browser');
        if (JBrowser::getInstance()->isBrowser('msie') || $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) 
        {
            $gobackaction = 'onclick="parent.location='' . JArrayHelper::getValue($_SERVER, 'HTTP_REFERER') . ''"';
        } else {
            $gobackaction = 'onclick='history.back();'';
        }
        return $gobackaction;
    }

I've applied that first change you suggested, it seems to work in all three (IE, FF and Chrome).

Change should be in github.
