Details

A document generated by a javascript: URL is just like one generated via document.write. The generating script shouldn't rerun on a reload, rather the last generated page should be fetched from the cache via the wyciwyg: URL used to capture the last generation. The wyciwyg stuff seems tied into the content/html world. How should dom/src/jsurl code partake of it? It would be good to fix this in 1.5. /be
perhaps the wyciwyg protocol handler could be moved to a more generic location. then it wouldn't be very difficult to use here/elsewhere. it is pretty generic stuff. there is only a little bit of code in nsHTMLDocument for talking to it. maybe we should move it into docshell since it is related to session history? (xpfe/components/shistory should also be in docshell/)

FWIW, wyciwyg is being removed in bug 1489308.

Boris, should this be WONTFIX? It seems like if we aren't caching document.write, we wouldn't want to cache this either?

Yeah, this is wontfix. Bug 836567 will make it so reloading a javascript: URL is just complete nonsense, but since that's what all other browsers and the spec do...
