Re: Backtracking detection in a long response page

This is not what's happening in my testing so far. With Firefox on Windows, if I backtrack on the long response page, I get back on the page where the long response page was called, and if the user call the long response page again, the code in performAction is performed again, which create havoc.

Same thing if the long response is done and I land on the page specified in pageForResult, if I backtrack, I'm getting back to the page that called the long response page.

How is that a problem? The only thing the users *might* see while backtracking is "50% done" followed by "45% done" followed by "51% done" after the next refresh?

Cheers, Anjo

BTW, how I found out that users are backtracking is because I saw this in Apache logs :

GET /cgi-bin/WebObjects/Depot.woa/1/wo/1kbJaKnAptsgyX6WIPYrOM/ 28.WOMetaRefresh
GET /cgi-bin/WebObjects/Depot.woa/1/wo/1kbJaKnAptsgyX6WIPYrOM/ 29.WOMetaRefresh
GET /cgi-bin/WebObjects/Depot.woa/1/wo/1kbJaKnAptsgyX6WIPYrOM/ 29.WOMetaRefresh
GET /cgi-bin/WebObjects/Depot.woa/1/wo/1kbJaKnAptsgyX6WIPYrOM/ 28.WOMetaRefresh
GET /cgi-bin/WebObjects/Depot.woa/1/wo/1kbJaKnAptsgyX6WIPYrOM/ 32.WOMetaRefresh


So the context ID was on 28, 29, went back to 28 and moved to 32.

Look like this :

/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Depot.woa/1/wo/a5wsIRHrgb2vaKM3n3WaHg/ 9.WOMetaRefresh

What is the URL for the long response page (the URL they are backtracking to)? Which path is it taking through that method?

This is so great. Deadlocks are now gone in our app, but I noticed that some users are using the back button in the app. So I looked at ERXSession.didBacktrack(), and this is working fine for "normal" components, eg if I backtrack on a normal component, didBacktrack() returns true.

Problem is that most backtracking that I found was in our long response page, and back tracking doesn't seem to be detected in there. didBacktrack is always false, either in invokeAction(), appendToResponse() or sleep(). I looked at didBacktrack() source and I don't see why it won't work on a long response page.

Any tips on this?
